Hi,
I am referring to Brochis splenden. Not Betta splenden Sorry for any confusion caused.

Water temperature is around 78 Fahrenheit

Hi, my Brochis splenden is not eating. :cry: :cry: :( 1. Water parameters a) Temperature range. - 26-27degC b) pH. - 7 c) GH. - unknown d) KH - 4dkH e)Ammonia - 0 , Nitrate - 20ppm , Nitrite - 0 f) Water change frequency - 25% weekly 2. Tank set up a) Size. - 24" X 12" x 14"(height) b...

My apologies. Sorry for any inconveniences caused.
I'm from Singapore. A tiny island in Southeast Asia.

Hmmm.. it doesn't look like a Corydoras pantanalensis.

Thanks for the advice! Will be careful with the feeding.

Recently I installed an air diffuser onto my Eheim 2222 canister filter outlet pipe to create more air bubbles - to increase the oxygen level. As a result, water flow near the air diffuser increases. And I noticed all my cories are swimming more actively and 'surfing' up the tank wall around that ar...

Congrats!:D
Keep trying and you will get more successful hatches!

Hi, Sorry I can't really help much with your corydoras breeding problem as I'm also a new to it.:oops: My two successful breeding attempts with corydoras aeneus are with the help of an air pump. :D The corydoras eggs are collected and placed in a container situated directly under the canister output...

Some pics would be great!

Hi,
It would help if you could provide us with more information on the tank setup and water parameters readings.

Anyway, I guess the injury might have been caused by the adult angelfish.

(Have seen angelfish disturbing small tetras and cories in LFS )

Hi,
A useful article by Ian Fuller for you to understand more about Corydoras.

Alright! The forum is back!

May those cories RIP :cry: I think the water pH is a bit too high for them. How about bringing it down to 7 gradually. Did you do the proper acclimatization for the new cories? Tell us more. Btw, do appreciate that you can read up this link when posting on health related issue. http://www.planetcatf...

Don't alot of wild Cories die? CL1 I'm not sure whether a lot of wild cories die as I have very little experience with them.:oops: But I do read that proper quarantine will greatly increased the chances of survival. Anyway, I believe there are many wild ones that survive and even manage to reproduc...

Convict :!: :shock: That's one of worst tankmates you can get for your cories. Sadz. IMO, your cories are constantly living under stress, as there is a predator/aggressor lurking around. Any wounds/injuries/infections will be greatly worsen in stressed state, leading to death eventually. Qns: How do...

Hi Kevin, Perhaps you would like to observe it closer to see whether is it eating. Throw in some pellets to test its response. From what I know, a healthy cory will rush immediately to the food or start to 'dig around' among the gravels.:lol: I always associate lethargic behavior with internal probl...

Is that bronze just bought from LFS?
Is it still feeding?
How big is it?

Nope, no new fishes or plants added in the past few months. I will be installing two more fans to the tank to further reduce the temperature. :) Could the temperature be one of the cause? My cories are mainly feeding on hikari pellets (algae wafer/cory pellet/lionhead pellet), frozen bloodworm and c...

Thanks for the reply. Those that show the symptoms are c.aeneus (albino) and brochis splenden. As for the scratching, I'm not sure how often they do it but it appears only recently. Those 12 of them are with me for almost 9 months. All are eating and breeding well. :) So, will a few drops of melafix...

Symptoms / Problem description Hi, I noticed some of my cories are twitching and scratching vigorously. Not always but just once a while for about 2 secs or so each time. Other than that, no other unusual symptoms or behaviors are seen. Anyone know what's wrong with them? Please advise. Thanks! Any...

my favourite.

ratocorydora - deep eye? Or do you mean sunken eye? As in the eye ball is 'lowered' into the eye socket? Does my description matches your observation? I have encountered sunken eye once and the cories didn't survived. Mine just happened overnight and the next day it died. :cry: Although I'm not too ...

Hi,

my 2.5inches BN also loves to park in front of the powerhead outlet.

Hi, I google around n found this. Gas bubble disease Gas Bubble Disease is caused by a sudden dramatic change in gas pressure in the aquarium. This can happen by changing too much water at one time or by adding cold water to the fish tank. Gas bubbles form in the fins and skin of the fish. The bubbl...

Hi,
I would definitely choose an Eheim canister.
You can also consider 2215 or the pro series 2026.

I do removed my bronze cory's eggs immediately. However, I find that if you wait for a few minutes, it will be easier to handle..i.e. the eggs will become slightly harder.

Hi,

Do refer to this link.

Hi,

how big was the dead peppered cory?

Any signs of illness before it dies?

Could the 2 adult angelfish have attacked it?

May it RIP

That's a very nice brochis!

btw, cute Jaguar cat with nice pattern..
how big are they?

is it Corydoras melanotaenia?
