Re: Deciding between common and L183 bristlenose

I ended up with a peppermint, and he's been great so far! really happy with the little fella.

When I see him on the glass though, I noticed he has a pink belly. I thought I would just make sure that it's normal. He doesn't hang around long enough to take a picture, so let me know if you need a more ...

Make sure you read up on cycling your tank. If you can find Seachem Stability, put that in your tank ASAP and continue dosage as it says on the bottle. I ...

Re: Deciding between common and L183 bristlenose

I might go down to the local plant shop and buy some little slate rocks to make a cave for the little fella. I have a ship ornament they can hide in, but once he gets a bit bigger he won't fit!
I'm not trying to breed anything, don't have the drive to do that stuff right now. Maybe later on when I ...

Re: Deciding between common and L183 bristlenose

Good theory it makes so much sense!

I have an unplanted 90L tank, so it doesn't have a LOT of floorspace, but I have 7 pygmy corys and 4 panda corys in it. How could I create hidy spots without getting rid of too much floor space for the corys?

Re: Deciding between common and L183 bristlenose

The peppermint bristlenose is the one I'm talking about. I was under the impression it was L183..

Deciding between common and L183 bristlenose

For my tank, I really like the L183 and would love to have one, but I'm not sure if it is right for me.

Right now, my PH is up around 7.3-7.5, but I have some mopani driftwood that might lower it somewhat.
I read that L183 like it below 7, so would they be drastically unhappy in this level of PH ...
