Phase 1 of Plan B accomplished...!!! Both the two newer blue Platies now safely back at Wharf Aquatics...
I couldn't catch the original orange one in good time, so he's still in the tank but looks to be behaving impeccably...
So, at least the heat is off again for now and I am far more confident about keeping Platy #1 a few more days whilst formulating a new plan for a "feature fish" variety...
I had the chance to chat to a great store chap by the name of Ross and we talked for a little while about what I was after... This is basically a small'ish and good looking fish that will spend the bulk of its time in the upper half of the tank and should be happy either alone or in small numbers within a larger Tetras mostly community... Also, should not be a problem with Amano shrimp or snails...
In the meantime, I've also had a butchers at this article about Dwarf Gourami:
https://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/features/articles/lets-hear-it-for-the-dwarf-gourami Managed to see some in Wharf, and Honeys and Sparkling etc... They had a few colour varieties of the Dwarf G's and I have to confess to liking them all...!!! We talked about the disease that affects the Dwarf G's too and in this respect, Ross did set my mind at ease over that particular issue...
Sooooooo... my next question to you guys n gals is centred on Dwarf Gouramis, what you think of them, had any experience with them etc...? And not least of all, would you think that one, maybe two, would make good additions to The Cookie Crew...?
