Hi

i don't know, "why" microps is a synonym of "aeneus"...

microps is not a valid name for a Corydoras.

Here is the trade under the name C.microps or "micropsis" sometimes another fish is sold: A.pauciradiatus.

Does anyone know of any corys that like their water on the cool side permanently? I am wanting to put a couple in my goldfish tank, which sits at about 20C. I know that cool water changes will stimulate some spawning behaviour, but what about cool water all the time?

S.barbatus is a nice fit ...

looking a little more in detail...

the snout from fish pic3 looks very typical "splendens". And pic 1 has 12 ? rays in dorsal fin..
Is pic1 - 2 - 3 the same specimen ?

Hello

this looks like the specimen in my tank:
http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15111

I don't believe this is B.splendens...splendens has 12 rays in the dorsal fins, this species 14 to 15 ?(and that ist constant in all my 9 specimen).

I think it is a new species....somewhat in ...

Hello

in early Jan 07 I discovered some smale Corys from my LFS. Coming in, I was invited to look at some bags that just came in. It was from the importer Ruinemans, Netherlands. The bags were labeled as "C.melanistus breviostris", the Corys were about 2 to 2,5cm small.
In other bags where "C ...

Thanks for reply !

I will test ist out !

Hello,

has anyone experience on combination of Corydoras "green stripe" with "red stripe" ?

Do they "hybride" ?
Any experience known ? (and what came out ?)

Thanks for reply.

p.s i dont think the presence of 2 L316 pl*co's and some rasbora could be the problem could they be putting them off?
Hi Andrew,

i believe C.weitzmani is easier to breed, if you will keep them alone in a tank. When to many inhabits in a tank, they remain shy....

Hi,

did you buy it as a "B.britskii" ?

There are species in the trade under the name "Brochis britskii"...but these ones are probably an undecribed species.

We had a discussion on that some time ago:

Hi,

yes, and he mentioned, that an important thing would be the transparency of the water.....
This was allready mentioned by Knaak 2001.

That's why I will add some bentonit suspension, also other clay-minerals should work, or something like like "easy life" or so.

This will be diluted by the ...

Ho Kim

oh yes, the linked forum is a little more "special" than the other one... :wink:
and more frequented by experienced breeders.

Also Erik answered in that thread, his article on breeding the closely related C.gery will be published in the next isse of the german magazin DATZ

Hi Kim

...tried a "dryseason" simulation to see if this would get them going...they don't seem to like strong currents. They are now "Brochis"-coloured.

how was your dry saison ? What temperture, food supply ..and how long was it ?

And at what temperature and food do you normaly keep them ...

Hello,

that one looks to me like C.gery:

or C.pantanalensis ( C5 ):

From the shape of the head and eye position I would prefer C.gery....but thats not all for ...

Hello,

and that one labeld as "L-340" looks very much like a half grown L-134.
L340 does not show these clear stripes in yellow and black as the L-134 does.

Hello,

there is a new picture of Brochis britski in the catelog:
http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/callicht/brochis/50_4.PHP
Is that the "real" B.bristki ? It looks somewhat different from the other types shown of this fish.

Some time ago I showed my specimen in this thread:

Hello,

pictures from wild caught often show specimen above the water "on free air", under these light conditions they look somewhat diffent....and very often more "greenish"

Hi,
there are some ozhers, e.g. C.caudimaculatus.
Also take a look at the Rio Negro-Species.

Hi kalija

nice fish you got !

Take care they get enough food, as they are more free swimming fish and more rarely button dwelling. In generell they are easy to keep.

Did you take a look at "shanes world" on this site ? There you will a breeding article that will give you some more information.

Hello,

Juvenile Brochis loke somewhat different from the adults. Large dorsal fin and some "spotted pattern" seems to be typical. Compare the B.splendens at the catelog.
