A new Bristles

After the sad demise of Bristles, the Bristlenose Catfish, last week, we've replaced him with Bristly, a cousin from the same breeder and also added to our cory collection with a Peppered Cory. So we now have the original Albino Cory, a Bronze Cory, a Julii Cory and now the Peppered Cory.

I know some (all???) other people would look down upon someone adding fish to the tank when there is still a reoccurence of white spot, but I look at it that adding the fish is risking further whitespot (the Peppered Cory came out of the tank that still had the remaining halfbeaks in it - which brought in the infection). If any of them bring in whitespot, either actively or passively by the infection catching on the net, then the treatment starts again. Looking at it the cautious way, I'd be adding white spot treatment as a precaution with every new fish, so where's the difference?

The white spot doesn't seem to be spreading much this time, so hopefully this will be the last round of treatment. I'm just waiting for a few more types of Cory to arrive into the shop (we've been waiting for weeks for the Panda Cory to arrive, if Sarah can ever got some off the supplier...), and she's ordered an assortment of Cories for next week - should be something for us to choose from then.
