There is a new cory we have been collecting out of the Southeast region of Peru in higher altitudes. Any help with an ID or letting us know if it is a new sp would be greatly appreciated. Some will be in the US soon. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="...

I have not used them with breeding cory's however I know that I have seen a better ratio with Killi and betta death ratio while using them. They also acted as a natural "carbon" media by absorbing stuff from the water, while lowering the pH. Note though that it does break down and can make...

I've got a few more ideas from what other people have suggested which should last me for some time...

Haha... ok. I might just do the whole seperating deal instead. I know they are native to cooler waters but I've never really had troubles with warming the natural temperatures of a fish just when I bring the temperature down. they are in the same water as before so let me try your idea before I dedi...

So what you're saying is that while we may be using the word gonopodium to describe the external sexual organ it is infact only correct for guppy, while the catfish that internally fertalize have developed an external fertalizing organ it would not be considered to be the same name. I don't think th...

These cory's were collected by the same farmer that first collected the LDA31 and L204. Very knowledgable about geography, however he often brings the fish in very ammonia toxic bags. I sent him with some supplies and told him I'd love to see some more fish from him. We've accomplished bringing down...
