grindle worms and white worms
Are grindle worms high in fat content like whiteworms and therefore should be fed sparingly?

Re: how to bring down tank temperature?
They do make aquarium fans that attach to the top rim of your tank. They aren't very expensive if you don't want to DIY a computer fan. Rather then putting ice cubes into the tank, most people float a frozen bottle of water in their tanks. This process last longer then ice cubes and you don't have t...

Re: No Barbels
I've also had problems with bare bottom tanks with barbel erosions aswell. I switched to a very fine gravel and thier barbels are all nice and long :D Aesthetically a fine gravel or sand is much more natural and your corys will enjoy digging in it. It doesn't need to be deep, mine is probably around...

How to prepare earthworms?
I would like to try feeding earthworms from my backyard to my corydoras and would like to know how to safely prepare them for feed? How do you drain their "guts", do I need to cut them into tiny pieces so it fits in the cory's mouthes? They seem rubbery.

Re: forked barbel
I'm pretty sure in this case, it's genetic. I've had him for several years and it was always like this. My substrate is fine, since all my corys have long barbels, as you can see from this cory's barbels.

Re: Cory ID
I bought them as "whitefin" corydoras if that helps. I don't think they are C. agassizii, the cory is not as pale as the pic shows but it's not as colourful as C. agassizii.

Re: Should I be concerned?
if you didn't mix up your nitrate and nitrite readings, then you should be concerned. A cycled tank should have zero nitrite readings and some nitrate reading. The nitrogen cycle is ammonia -> nitrite -> nitrate

Re: snail eaters
interesting, when I tore down my planted tank, that had plenty of snails, and switched to a mix cory tank, the snails eventually disappeared. I always assumed it was because of the corys efficiancy in eating all the food and therefore no leftovers for the snails.

Re: did I spawn C. habrosus?
nerite eggs are quite different then cory eggs. I had nerites and they would lay eggs all over, I've also spawned a few corys. Nerite eggs have a hard shell, cory eggs are "softer"

When I had a pair of Blue rams in my 35 gal mixed cory tank, I would have to move the corys into their own tank if I wanted to breed them. When the rams died, the corys started breeding in their 35 gal, including my pygmy corys.
