Re: Improving C.schultzei(Black)

Thank you for backing up my thought Frank! :) That's what I understood to be the case exactly. Always my pleasure. :-) I have seen the same S-shaped spinal deformities with (very few of) my Longfin aeneus (another line-bred corydoras). That being said they are otherwise extremely healthy, nice to l...

Re: Improving C.schultzei(Black)

Greetings. As in all things Corydoras, I generally only report on my first-hand experience that takes place in my tanks, in my fish room. I'm not big on "fish tales." Obviously there are a myriad of determining factors as to what a fish will grow to look like at old age. My poor experience...

CW028 Photo

Greetings. Just sold this group as they are too similar to my C. pulcher to justify keeping both groups. The C. pulcher are actually a bit nicer, or I would have sold those, instead.

My First Spawn of S. lacerdai

Greetings. When Mr. Fuller visited me in late June he was kind enough to bring me a group of 7 S. lacerdai. About a week ago I was saddened to see that one had died. On Friday, I was even more distraught to find another dead one. Both deaths occurred after moving the group into a tank in a lower and...

Re: Something wrong with my Cory?

Too early to tell, but if the fish is in distress, the best thing to do is to leave it alone, lest you hasten its demise. Sometimes Corys just "sit around." Other times they are quite active. There is little rhyme or reason as to why and when. Additionally, Corys do better in groups. A sol...

Re: Corydoras paleatus - Breeding Size

Greetings Darren. I would venture to guess that your 6 to 8 week old fish are not laying eggs. While I used to believe that it took a year for most Corys to reach sexual maturity, I have found 9 months to be a more realistic figure. I have never witnessed any group of Corys spawn in under 7 months a...

Re: Another New One

Well, this group of C. parallelus are really starting to get into the swing of things. Another spawn, overnight, of around 20 eggs, 15 of which look perfectly viable. One or two more spawns and this group should be having successful spawns on a regular basis. Time will tell. Cheers. - Frank
