Ok so iv just rehomed my  panda barbs as im changing the stock levels in my tank. its heavly planted and lots of bogwood etc so its a great breeding ground i guess. So a few weeks ago i saw my barbs acting strangely like a breeding ritual or somthing but didnt see anything happen so thought...

There spines are i beleave. Not lethal but will numb your hand if pricked by one of the little buggers lol like i was recently lol or may be another species or fish altogether im thinking off.

I see well mixed opinions here i see :-[

Well imho all the media in your filter ie sponges floss bio balls u name it, all hold bacteria.iv never even heard of the product you discribe and i honestly think u dont need it. Could be wrong but iv allways done well with just the media in my filter baskets. Pld school of you like :-)

Could be wrong but i hear they eat anything they can fit in there mouths. Mollys and platys they will eat i guess. As for corys id possible yes they will try and eat them but could possible injure themselfs as corys are a. Armoured catfish and b. Have very sharp poisness spines so could kill the...

Oh thats great to hear. Well sand for sure. Going to add bogwood caves and anubas plants too as find they love tp rest under the lohs and graze about live plants alot in the day. As for top dwelling fish. Would dwarf gouramis work? Not a fan of tetras myself.

Yea sand substrate for them ofc. So you agree there be ok in there own 3ft tank? They are stunning fish and just wanna make sure that if i set up the new tank theyl have enouhh room and that realy.

yea i agree the corys are very peacefull :) but the barbs piss them off all day long lol so i was gona move em and yea 11 is a little to many but i allways thought the more the better with corys as there great in nice sized shoals. would rather they all be together so u think the 3ftr be ok?

hey all im new to the hobby and new the the forums i need some advice. i currently have a 300l tank 4fter. my stock is as shows : 11 corydoras sterbai 6 panda barbs 1 moonlight gourmai(rescued him he wasnt my fish of choice :) ) 2 bumbleebee catfish 1 snowball pleco   I keep the tank well...

In my 300l no eco ccomplete. Therrle barbles are fine and they seem ok in there. Was gona set up the 3fter with sand. And why wouldnt they be ok in the 3ft one?

The one you lostz. Same thing happend to me when i added 9 cory sterbai to my existing 3. Npt sure if was stress related or being nipped to death because it was ill. He literaly had no fins left and was the runt of the litter if u like lpl but he did survive when i thought he wouldnt. Nice...

Well was just wondering if there be ok in the 3fter. Or will they be overcrowded
