It's a bit tricky when they're not wearing their red and white striped jumpers.... ;)

I can only find two, paleatus have good diguises for your tank. :D

Actually there were (at least) three. There is a very old Sterbei hiding in the upper left corner :grin:

Having just read Plankton's Cory guide, I am now having a very quiet panic... :swim2:
I have the following fish at the moment:
  • 1 very large/old/active Siamese Algae Eater
  • several white Mollys
  • an Angel Fish
  • about 15 Rummy Nose Tetras
  • a couple of Sword Tails
  • one very old Sterbei Cory
  • four Peppered Cory (fairly new additions)
So, I researched in the Internet and thought that 25°C would be ok for them all, but now I am not so sure. :hmm:
What sayeth the Forum Gurus?
And if I need to reduce the temperature, how quickly should I do so?
Cheers!

I would say 24/25°C would probably be a half decent compromise. The hardest ones to please there are the rummys as they like it warm.
To the tune of “the saints go marching in”:
Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful, they’re white Welsh and fluffy! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful!

Agreed, the peppers are the problem with temperature as they really don't agree with long-term higher temps. (Sterbai are ok with it.)
Can you swap them for aeneus?

Pretty sure that the LFS won't be up for swapping fish.
Also, not sure how accurate my heater is, it was set to 24°C, but my thermometers read 25°C, so I have dropped it a little.
The Cory's seem happy enough though.
Cheers!
