Thanks for the tips guys! I'm not looking to feed fry (right now anyways...). I've just been doing some more research and I keep reading live food is better for natural behavior and colour. My tank currently has an angelfish, bolivian ram, 4 rainbows, 4 platys and an albino bristlenose pleco.

I've been reading a lot more in to live food. Up until now I've been feeding a blend of flakes and frozen blood worms/brine shrimp once a week. I'm starting to think some live brine shrimp or something similar will be good for the colour and natural feel of the tank. Which LFS in Edmonton A) stock live food and have a good reputation for it. Or is this something where I will have to get a little 5g tank and raise my own?

I did a little research on these guys and I've read a couple places that they require a strong current. Has this ever been an issue for you?

I like the way you think!

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Thanks for the tips! I do like Corys, but I'm leaning more towards the Bristlenose right now.

So, I'm currently in the process of setting up a 33g tank. So far I've got 3 plants, a fair sized piece of driftwood, 2 large rocks and a gravel substrate. The inhabitants I'm hoping to set up are 1 Angel, 1 Bolivian Ram, 6 Platy and 6 Harlequin Rasboras. I'm on the hunt to find a fun bottom feeder cat/pleco that won't turn in to a bully and that will be OK with the current set up. I like the thought of the Rasboras, but I don't have my heart dead set on them if they will get in the way of a bottom feeder.

Just saying hi to everyone. Me and my roommate are in the process of starting up a new 33 gallon tank. We're both very new to this and have come across lots of useful information from this site. Hope to get to know you all soon!
