I would recommend a small school of 10 corys. Any species of cory would do, but their social interaction is best seen when using a single specials (i.e. all Aneus, or all Julli, or all Trilineatus). -Wayne |

And prepare NEVER to need a television for entertainment ever again ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seriously, if my Pandas are anything to go by, you'll have a blast watching your aquarium become a fishy version of Lemmings once the Pandas are acclimatised. And if you look after them the way I do (see my big Panda article!) chances are you'll end up with a lot more than 12 Pandas to play with ![]() ![]() |
