Looks like a Blackfin Cory, very similar to the ones I have just got.

Thanks wingnut55. I have tried myself to id him but there are so many similar looking species around I've given up trying  [woo]

Everything seems to be stable now, thank goodness. 
I did have a play around on aqadvisor, as you do, to check where I'm at re stocking levels and filtration. Used a guesstimate of 50 endlers and also 50 cherry shrimps (plus all the other fish and a guesstime of 30 assassin snails) and my filtration was at 87%. Had a trawl through a well-known 2nd hand selling site and found this one for £30:




I've positioned the spray bar at a not-quite right angle to the other spray bar:




At first I was worried about there being too much of a current but it seems the fish have adapted to this pretty quickly and quite enjoy playing in the flow. Same with the shrimps which are floating around like crazy at times.

My favourite eheim filter!! The ecco 130 Get some spares in stock for it! The twi clips inside the handle tend to weaken and snap. These lock the 'arm' in place

The surviving Black Molly had started to pester the Pearl Gouramis. Luckily, someone just up the road from me had some for rehoming so I got him some company:





...and photobombed by an assassin snail:

Apologies for the washed-out colours. Seems my camera is slowly fading out...

[Annie]

Looking good Ric, the extra filter will do wonders.

Looking lovely and lush! 

Nice one on finding the filter too! Eheim are a great brand.
