got me some black skirts

[HoldenOn]

Hey all,
Went to my LFS and got 8 nice healthy looking black skirts, and 4 new peppered corydoras. That brings me up to 7 corydoras in total. Super stoked, and will post pictures tomorrow once the lights are back on!

So far so good. Temp. acclimated them for 40 minutes and put them in. It's so cool to watch the black skirts swim together.

Tetras look great in big groups like that.

I'm gonna have to put black things on the sides of the tank because they keep getting angry at their reflections lol

@HoldenOn I'm sure you know this but it takes a few days for new fish to settle in and blacking out the back and sides is really a good idea. I think it reduces stress.

Ofc. I had some on the back, but none on the sides because previous occupants were corydoras and they like to play with their reflections lol.

I would also lower the lights, most tetras like shade and floating plants, I just picked up some frog bite and hope to replace what is left of my salvania in my tetra tank. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new shoal of tetras. Good luck
