Re: Sexing my CW051's

I have 15 species of corydoras...they are not all the same in their breeding specifics. I had a bit of trouble with my parallelus and poor fertility...6 m & 4 f....I believe with this specific group that there was too many males...I went to 2 m with single females...some improvement...I actually...

Re: Substrate?

Looks like red flint mix...if it's BB size it will work well...I use the same mixed 25% rf with 75% washed creek sand or pool sand. The cories love it and it has a very natural look...live plants seem to grow better that with just sand...maybe due to staying in place better or a looser base for root...

I have had aquariums for near 50 years. I have had "driftwood" in many tanks. Mostly purchased from LFS. I now live in the mountains of New Mexico and have abundant juniper and pinion pine. Lots of the dead branches are beautiful shapes. I am wondering if these two woods would be harmful w...

Re: Best Corydoras Foods

My opinion is that black worms are the #1 pre-spawning conditioning food. Live Grindal and white worms are second for inducing egg production. My Corydoras most eagerly eat Sera tablets..Vitformo & Plankton. If you have available New Life Spectrum small fish formula is very good. I buy several o...

Sera tablets

My corydoras wouldn't know what to do without the Sera Vitformo and Plankton tablets I get from you !! All my FO corys adapt quickly to the Sera tabs !! They don't seem to foul the water and store easily in the pails in a dry place !!

Scleromystax kronei

There was a temperary name given to a simialar fish a few years back.
I seem to remember its ID for a time as "Biahanao II" or similar nomer.
What was the correct name used for that fish & has it been described ?

Thanks
