Hello All

[Mosquitochorus]

Hi, I have just signed up - having used this forum for advice many times already, so thanks for that - and thought I would introduce myself.
I only have the one aquarium.... so far (can you hear my girlfriend hrumphing in the background), that I set up about three months ago. It contains two pearl gourami and four (+) panda cory's, the plus because we spotted our first panda baby last night, but I am not counting (my chickens) it until he has survived a week or two.
Am currently thinking I can get away with one more fish in there and have been contemplating a bristlenose cat, any advice or alternative suggestions would be appreciated!
Cheers, Richard

to the forum mosquitochorus. Congratulations on the new fry in the tank, they are always fun to have. The tank you have is a bit on the small side to house a BN in comfort. If the objective is to get an algae eater, an otocinclus would be more appropriate to a tank that size but be aware that they will quickly get rid of all your algae and then you will need to start trying to feed them greens. They will not usually eat regular flake food or sinking catfish pellets, they only eat greens.

Thanks, will read up on the oto... Not in any great rush anyway, and am considering freshwater shrimp instead but need to do lots of research first, as absolutely no clue.

Hmm as said a BN may fit in ok, or research a L260 if you want some colour
