How Does This Stocking Sound?

Gah! Reading that website, he looks like a marble chinese algae eater:

He'd better not be! Except his dorsal fin is a lot bigger..

Thta's cool then, everybody has different opinions, and if you think they all seem to be doing good, then keep it at that.

Hmmm, and so the mystery of the algae eater continues

Does sound like a really nice combination of colours though, a pic of your tank would be cool to see.

I would still strongly urge you to buy a bigger filter though

Will get pics of it sometime tonight. The algae eater does look like a marble chinese one, like I said - but I'm not totally sure.

Pics! as promised.. The best I could get without going right out where you couldn't see anything. So, just took a few of different sides of the tank.

looks great but incase you didn't already know the algae eater is a CAE which have a bad reputation for aggressiveness as they grow

lilfishie - We had been wondering what he was and I had thought he was perhaps a marble CAE but wasn't sure.

Your tank looks really nice, i like the dark background

glad you knew, they are nice little fish until they reach a certain size, had one myself was my favourite fish until i saw it attacking my guppies

Yeah, I said in a previous post that he seems to mind his own business so far. But will keep an eye on him!

Nice tank. The driftwood is nice.

I'll leave the stocking advice to others, but I'd suggest that you need to turn down the heater a little bit. Danios don't like it more than about 26 degrees, and I think that goes for cories as well.
Have a look in the fish species section and find out the ideal temperature range for each of your fishies, then try and find one that suits them all.
