Pop it on eBay. People pay stupid amounts for them.

Biorbs are like little torture chambers for fish.

I know, it's extremely sad. As we both know the general public are poorly informed about fishkeeping. THe industry doesn't help the cause though does it.

Now that's what I want to hear! Don't forget the complications with cleaning the darn things...

Re: I'm getting another BiOrB
Maybe a betta fish and a couple of corydoras to clean.

You should generally stick to the rule of one small fish per gallon.

For example, you could have three platies and a betta and a cory.

That's rather incorrect if you ask me...

'Guidelines' as they are called don't apply to fishkeeping, especially where stocking is concerned. The only way to go about stocking an aquarium is to use research and pure common sense.

Corydoras are certainly not recommendable for Bi-orbs, all species (apart from Corydoras pygmaeous) require a tank much larger than 30 litres, and in any case the substrate isn't suitable for these fish. The damage that can result to the delicate area around the mouth can lead to fungal infectons.
