I was wondering what else would make a good addition to this tank......no more guppies!! I want something interesting....any ideas? Sam

While they dont stress so much as some other fish do, they are tons more active when around their own kind. Any chance on a pic of the un-identified cory? ^_^ [hr width='40%'] "And I said What about Breakfast at Tiffany's"

I was think of more corys, but i they all school toghether and look happpy! What would you suggest for the middle/top of the tank? I may look at their corys, are they supposed to be all one kind? Or will they school with different kinds? the lady at my lfs said they would all school toghether! Sam

Adding more of the same species will make them much more amusing to watch . ^_^ [hr width='40%'] "And I said What about Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Ok so if i fill them out, can i add anything else or is that pushing it? I kind of wanted a gourami or a ram? any thoughts on that? Sam

I would suggest a dwarf gourami, since they are solitary and don't add too much waste to the water. Another reason for adding one is that it would occupy the top area of your tank. With the neons in the middle and the cories on the bottom, your tank will look rounded out, and very beautiful. If you got a ram, it would hang around the bottom with the cories. That would sort of crowd the bottom, and your tank wouldn't look as good that way. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
