I've turned up the heat recently. It did better for a while. /shrugs

I found this quote while doing more cory cat research.
They will also eat any dead, dying, or even injured fish, that sit on the substrate too long. They're very opportunistic!


That last bit made me chuckle. xD

I bought mine off someone who was selling really cheap because they were moving, so it came with 5 fantail goldfish and a black moor.
I'm not sure if thats too many for that sized tank... I was kinda hoping to get a Betta :S

In a few days, I will be getting another betta. She's coming through the mail so I hope she makes it safe and sound.

A 40 is only really suited for 2 maybe 3 if you have really good filtration but if your not wanting the goldfish you can sometimes sell them to a petshop but make sure they take good care of the fish first.
@toboelover Best of luck, I was thinking of ordering one offline but the shipping charges cost more or equal to the fish.

I'd freak out ordering a fish online.
I know they have those garunteed live arrival, but you have to cut off the fish's tail most of the time if it actually comes dead to prove it. o.o
I wouldnt be able to to do that even though the fish was dead.

Well the type of shipping I chose does not have a live arrival guarantee, and he only requires a pic of the dead fish in the open bag otherwise. But I sure hope she makes it alight. If she does, I may breed her to my red male.

She is a 'mother of pearl' plakat. I've never heard of that color before her, but she's white and shines different colors in light.
you should be able to see pics here:
