Here is my tank:
I was away on holiday last week, had someone house sitting though. I had clear instructions (with pictures!) on feeding...etc. Anyway I returned to find this on the substrate.
It is clearly an Amano shrimp carcass that has been scavenged. I did have three Amanos, but while doing my water change yesterday I could only count two. But I am more surprised at the colour. Do you think it got cooked on the heater somehow or did the panda corydoras install a hidden barbecue while I was away? All the other fish are accounted for and seem fine.

Here are my two Bolivian Rams. I’ve taken the photo when the tank lights are off as when they’re on they both looked washed out. One in particular never really shows much colour at all. Do you think it’s stress related or because the lighting is just white LEDs (or combo of both)? I’m not certain what gender they are, but I think they’re both males who don’t really like each other much. They have their own areas of the tank though.

Also I’ll try and get some photos of the other species when the light comes on later.

Great pics
Bolivians are a loosely gregarious species unlike most of the other dwarf cichlids, you can keep them in small groups if you have the room or pairs. Females might also spar over territories and tend to be less colourful than males.
