Re: Corydoras lamberti

The ones on the picture (not circeled) are not blochi blochi, but C102 or another "leopardus"-looking fish. The ones circeled (at least one of them , the other one turns the back towards us, so difficult to tell) is not C. lamberti, but some agassizii-looking fish. This is one of Hans ever...

Re: Egg predation

It depends on a lot of things. My atropersnoatus leave the eggs alone but eat the fry. Other hobbyists report that their atropersonatus eat the eggs. My C120 left the fry alone in my tank, but after giving them to a friend, the very same fish suddenly eat the fry. It's not something that's easy to c...

Well...theres's C10 and C80. Maybe C103 as well...

There are probably more of these spotted ones that come unnoticed as contaminants. All difficult to tell apart.

Re: Cory ID

It is defiantely neither osteocarus or ornatus. I think the snout is too long for the species Richard mentions. I would lean more towards delphax allthough the pattern is a bit large-spotted for those also. It could be one of the manu C-numbers with a pattern like this. A catch-location would have b...

It is CW44, often imported ad C. elegans.

They can be very dark or very green, depending on mood etc.

Re: No spawns for 3 years... What's up??

This just happens.

I have mostly experinced it with groups moved to another tank or with groups where specimens have died or new ones added. Funnily enough, the same things can trigger a group into spawning.

Re: New Corydora Cruzeiro

There's some loretoensis over it, but still a bit different. The dorsal marking looks too large. Some loretoensis can have black first fin rays, but not this much. not that I've seen anyway.

Re: unheated basement

Loads!

Corydoras carlae, C7, lingopinnis, CW22, undulatus, Scleromystax spp. (other than the barbatus you mention), some Ancistrus species and Hisonotus aky etc.

Plenty to choose from, but many are not very easy to get your hands on from commercial sources.

Re: Aspidoras keepers?

Currently I only keep A. poecilus and CW52, but have kept and bred others over the years; C35, C118, C119, C125, eurycephalus, taurus and cf. rochai.

All but eurycephalus and C35 I found very easy. 119 I never got to breeding...they were very agressive to eachother.

Re: What could Ancistrus L59 from Rio Negro be?

Thanks Racoll.

I thought L183 too, but I was thinking someone might have imported some and could give me a pionter to what they had as L59 from there. I had been through all the Rio Negro Ancistrus but couldn't find any leads.

Re: Cross breeding?

Hastatus and pygmaeus are in the same lineage so there would probably be a possobility. Habsosus however is in a completely different leneage with C91 and other roundsnouted species and I wouldn't think they would crossbreed with the other two species.
