The elegans group
I was browsing through the net and I've noticed people referring to "the elegans group of corydoras". But I had the impression that c. elegans of the elegant cory is only one particular cory, so now I'm confused. Can anybody explain what is meant by the elegans group of corydoras? At the L...

Yes, I forgot to mention that besides the spot patterns differentiating one species from another the appearance and length of the snouts might be a factor, too. Thanks for pointing it out. :) One of them might really be ambiacus but the others may be a different species yet. I got six of these spott...

Which spotted cory is this?
The LFS said it's c. leucomelas. But I doubt it. Looks more like ambiacus or agassizi or delphax... I'm not really sure which. I've observed that the slightest difference in spot patterns might mean a different species altogether. I find it very hard to tell them apart. Anyone here has a good eye on...

So I guess it's not the appearance of the container that matters. It's the size. I agree that the glass aquariums are for our benefit and that fish would be perfectly fine in tubs provided they are big enough. Of course stocking ratios should be given a lot of attention, too, along with other parame...

Ideally, you should keep at least 5 of the same species together. But they will school with other species anyway. I have read that pandas are more delicate than the other species but I have kept 5 of them in a 5 gallon tank with water temp as high as 29 degrees celsius during summertime and I've had...

The elegans can hybridize with the napoensis. I would separate the two species if you want to breed the napoensis. As you are interested in breeding corys it is better to keep species tanks for this purpose. Mark This is such an eye-opener. I have not thought about hybridization among cories. I jus...
