5" even including the tail is huge!

Hi I dont have any problems with grindle worms at all as they are fed on hot baby cereal which puts a lot of vitamins into the worms,then into the fish,thats good for them to produce the eggs and good health, as for the white worm they are fed on white or brown bread that produces fat in the worms ...

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

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...

A friend gave me a bit of cyclops eeze to try, I think it's freeze dried cyclops meant for fry. Anyone try this for cory fry?

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...

lovely do you have a full tank shot?

Need to clear space for new corys. I have 2 female C schwartzi, they are large around 2" and are gravid, I don't have any males so never got a chance to breed them. Asking $5 for both, PM me if you're interested My location: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&a...

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.

Bronze corys (Corydoras aeneus) are often called "Green cory" around here.

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.

just wanted to share a pic of one of my male panda corydoras with a very cool forked barbel. It would be even cooler if 4 of his long barbels were forked, would look like a bushynose cory

I recently found an ebay listing, I am not the seller, for freshwater fairy shrimp eggs. These are similar to brine shrimp but much easier to hatch, supposedly you just drop them intowater and wait a day for them to hatch, no airpump or salt needed. Anyone try this to feed cory fry? Here's the link ...

great tank, gives me inspiration to start a mossy shrimp tank can you tell me what moss you used for the moss tank?

I've got a lot of slugs in my garden eating my veggies, just wondering if I can feed them to my cory cats? i hear they are high in protein like earthworms

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.

Can someone help me identify this corydoras? thanks

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

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.

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"

I read silica sand was a sharp substrate so not appropriate for corys. Have you guys been using silica sand without problems?

I was looking for some fine white sand at the LFS and the only one they carried was Carib Sea Marine fine white sand. The bag says it's for freshwater aswell since it's not supposed to alter ph, but is this safe for corys? Any one use this for their corys?

yeah I was just going to use a small amount, so I guess it's safe. Thanks

Is epsom salt(magnesium sulfate) safe to use on corydoras? I need the magnesium to fertilize my plants. I know it's not safe to use salt on corys but not sure if this applies to epsom salt.

I have a related question, I'm raising 2 panda fry in a floating container, they are a little over 1 cm and are just starting to show their panda markings, when should I release it into the main tank with the other pandas and corys? no problems with other tank inhabitants since it's a cory tank with...

Shrimp love breakfast with egg :wink: I raise hundreds of shrimp along side my Corydoras habrosus and C. hastatus. They don't touch the Corydoras eggs. I started off with 10 each of the Corys about 8 months ago and spawn raise them in permanent 20 gal longs which they share with shrimp. Now I have ...

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.

I think I know what you mean and I've got one female snub nose in my panda school.

I've got a pair of trilineatus that is close to 10 years old and still looking healthy. From my understanding most cories have a lifespan of 10-15 years.
