can cories smell?
as i was watching my cories this morning swimming around the bottom of the tank at feeding time i noticed that they seem to swim around looking for food pretty randomly. sometimes one would stop and swim away just centimeters from a shrimp pellet. i've noticed the same behavior with my fry. can ...

we do not all get to see the same fish. physical locations are a big part of this, as are the circles in which one travels. most of the cories on this site i will never get the chance to see because A) even the best fish stores in my area don't have much of a catfish selection. if i go to a fish ...

Generally, the females are noticably plumper than the males. check out this thread on sexing cories. the drawing is really helpful. http://www.forum.planetcatfish.com/viewtopic.php?t=96&highlight=sexing Ian has a pretty good artical on sexing cories on his website http://www.corydoras.pwp.blueyonder ...

late bloomers...
hey there. i've got a bunch of cory fry hatched on february 27th. (they are almost 3 moths old) most of them are showing coloring like their parents. some, however, are still pretty small and look a lot like fry. i would like to change the substrate in the tank (large gravel) to something more ...

other than checking water parameters (they will be paler if ammonia or nitrite are too high), you could look for other stressors (like other fish in the tank that pick on them) and try changing to a darker substrate. when my C. aeneus went from tan gravel to flourite (reddish brown with some black ...

that's why the cories are moving. i'm afraid something like that will happen, and now that i know about your experience, i'm even more anxious to get the cories out. although there's no way a cory could fit in the goldfish's mouth, i don't want the goldfish to even be tempted. the goldfish mouths ...

depends on the type of catfish you have. some like cooler temperatures than others. take a look in the cat-e-log to find the ideal temperature for your catfish. Goldfish are easier to keep in their own tank, but they're not as incompatible temperature-wise as most might think. most fancy goldfish ...

if you're talking about fish getting stuck to the filter and not getting sucked up the filter tube, you may have a more serious problem at hand. most well fish, even small fish like neons and my .5 inch cory fry can outswim a filter. they may get curious and swim up the intake if they can. if they ...

while sharp gravel will wear down cory barbles, i have found high nitrates to be much worse. my gravel (flourite) is not extremely sharp, but after a week or so i found my cories had slightly shorter barbles. fortunately, they have not shown noticable erosion since and their babies are almost past ...

i think over here in the US if you say bad things about a company that might cause them to loose sales, you can get sued. companies won't bother going to individuals because they generally don't influence enough people to impact their sales, but places that offer information to a larger audience ...

yup, antibiotics. fish i got never had so much redness and bleeding though. i guess i either caught it real early (i'm pretty observant when it comes to my fish) or for some reason the infection wasn't as bad.

saw this cory in the LFS...
i saw a cory in the LFS yesterday that looked much like C. punctatus. it's probably C. punctatus, but i was wondering if C. reticulatus has dots as a juvinile that become the squigglies (such a scientific term!) as the fish matures, much like C. trilineatus. anyone know? it looks like this fish may ...

i'm not too keen on the rating idea. first off, people's opinions of what constitutes a good fish shop will differ. second, putting in 1-5 suggests that people could put up negative comments which we could get in trouble for. if we have a rating system of 5-10, with specific criteria that have to be ...

i had a batch of C. aeneus hatch on 2/27/03. right now about 2/3 of them are starting to really look like adults and get the adult coloration and body shape. the other 1/3 are varied in size and look like large fry, not so much like the adults. the tank is an established 20gal long with minimal ...
