Hi Max, yes your wright...Brochis multiuradiatus hardly takes dry food from the bottom. Mine get about 50% frozen crustazeans as artemia, moina, daphnia and the other 30% is frozen red bloodworms and about 20% black and white moskito-larve (? what ever this is in english :D ). As long as I can get a...

Hi, If you look in the cat-eLog it says theyre easy to breed yes, I read the cat-elog....and the original Knaack-paper... One can buy C.gery as well as C.panatanalensis exclusively as imports (if they are in stock)....why is that so for an easy breeding species ??? :D I haven't got the key up to now...

Hello,

anyone here keeping Corydoras pantanalensis ?

Breeding attempt: had anyone a spawn of this rare species ? and under what condition in terms of temperature water and foos conditions ?
How important may be saisonal changing conditions for this species ? And what parameters have to be changed ?

Hello,

if you want to breed your catfish, take them seperately...cichlids (also the smalls ones) love caviar and fish larvae.

The translation of "Corydoras" was something like "bearing helmets" or so ?
Don't worry to much...the adult corys will survive !
Babys probably not.

Hi, there is a bredding report on B-splendens in Shane's world: http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworld/s_r_97.php and on scootcat: http://www.scotcat.com/articles/article17.html Tank should be large enouph for this aktiv and large species, about 200L should be fine.

Hello,

although I do not know the standard size of US-tanks, its seem to be a large tank, somewhat about around 120x50x50 cm or so I guess.

This is a nice cory tank, also for the somewhat larger Cory-species and the Brochis.

Hello, this species seem to be a little rare in then hobby. Are there some keepers out there with a breeding attempt or better a breading success ? I only heard about Knaack (who described this species)and some rare imformation about egg size und number in the Seuss-book. My two girls look a little ...

Hi,

Ian's page says "Gran Rio" in Surinam für C.nanus.
the links give da very small data set
http://www.biotopaquarium.de/wasserwert ... werteg.htm

But your right, most data are from the Amazon-Basin.

Dear Kim as most danish people are able to understand german, this page might help: http://www.biotopaquarium.de/uebersicht/uebersichthabitate.htm The tables should speak for themselves. Try to get the home of your corys from other sources, than try to find the river in the link mentioned above. Exa...

Just orderd 20 C.hastatus.

Are there other species that dominatelay dwell in the middle/upper layer of the water column ?

Hello,

The first group probably has this shield.
Where do I find a picture of this shield how it should look like ?
Has somebody a link ? Thanks.

Hello, here are pics from the "second series", the 4 ones I got a few days ago, slightly larger than the first ones. Pictures made by Ralf Rombach before selling them to me: http://www.scalare-online.de/aquaristik/db_fische/siluriformes/callichthyidae/Brochis_britskii_003.jpg http://www.sc...

Hello,
Is this better ?

Hi Dave, your right, these individuals do not have 15 or more spines in the dorsal fin...most have 14. But they aren't B.splendens, which are present in my tanks to. These individuals are imported via "aqua-global" near berlin, where Ingo Seidel works. So I hope, they sell it right :D So i...

Although text is not readible for many if us, the tables speak more or less for themselves.

Hello, there isn't very much information in the net on B.britskii. Its very rare in the pet shops. I got 3 of them about 4 weeks ago, the last 4 ones past by on saturday. Here some pics of mine (in the pet shop) made by a friend: http://www.weselhuber.de/forumpic/joern/corys_joern.jpg http://www.wes...

Hi,

what Cory is it ?

A fine sand as buttom substrate would make him feel better, it's much closer to his natural envirenment...also for the others....

Hi, he's still not doing very much, just sits on the bottom and looks kinda unstable... They don't like swimming alone....And he is new, everything is new for him in your tank..give him some time to feel home. A few friends would help him.... :D He (she ?) is in good shape, i think. I wouldn't care ...

Hi, I have just been down to check on him and hes not doing to well and is slumped on his side. Is there anything I can give him or I should be looking for. they love worm-like food, e.g. tubifex and better red bloodworms. Try that. Mine do not take any tablets or granulate foods...ask your dealer, ...

Hi, This fish is really needing some "friends"... It will behave much better if you get another 3-4 of the same kind. .... yes, that's true. Broch I s likes to scholl even more than the Cory-species. If you can't find another hognose, try B.splendens. Other Cory's like to scholl with the B...

Hi Jools,

it could be interesting to add the "brothers" of corydoras, Brochis and Aspidoras into that picture.

Hi Jen Thanks... Like I said, I was leaning toward Brochis... someone else from the forum (in respone to a different post) suggested Brochis multiradiatus. I could see that, especially given that these guys have a prominent "break" in their forehead when you look at them in profile. I trie...

Hi Jen, it will be enough to keep temp at about 27-28°C, keep water clean an add some fruits of the alder tree (about 5 in 10 liters)and give them good food, that should be enough for the moment. And observe tzhis little spot, normally thsi should be away in a few day. Probbaly more to small accide...

Hello, is there anybody here having experience with Brochis multiradiatus ? Questions: What food ? There are infos about "only red" = tubifex, red bloodworms etc and another keeper said "everything" as other Corys. Tank size? What would be minimum size for a group of 5 to 6 (or m...

Hi Do you really USE Lemna sp. or can you just not get rid of it? Can't really remember where, when and for what price I was buying it.... :D During times of strong feeding I remove about 2 meters long ceratophyllum and an area of about 20 to 40cm of Lemna per week from a 150liter tank with 5 L135, ...
