      Buy more Corys....and just get the rest of the male congo tetras .... you need a much larger school of Congos for that tank and 6/9 is a perfect ratio.

    I can relate, I can't go into shops and browse. I have to phone in, order, walk in and sprint out. It's triple dangerous for me because I have decommissioned tanks that would take me 0 time to recommission, so the old "I don't have room" excuse doesn't work. My inner fish hoarder just reminds me "you have x spare tanks... remember."

Your little Kili fish most likely survived on Mike roof Anna in the tank for that six months if you bring plants into a tank after a bit you will have all kinds of microphone growing and thriving in the tank enough for very small fish to thrive on almost without feeding🐠🦯

    For the African tank, you should get leopard ctenopoma. They're absolutely beautiful fish. They max out at 8 inches, but it's rare for them to get bigger than 6 inches and average length is 5 inches. They would be a stunning addition for the tank and they aren't big enough to eat the congo tetras or kribensis
