Hi. Yes, correct spelling IS a prerequisite for successful searches. Thanks. - Frank

Hi Ian. So - you personally have had these fish? - Frank

Hi Jools. Thanks for responding. So let me get this straight. If my conversion is correct you're talking about a Cory species that would sell for $70? Is that about the most expensive Cory you can name or are there others that sell for more? Thanks. - Frank

Hi. - What does pataroensis mean and how does the word relate to corydoras species? - Frank

Hi,

Looking for info on C. barbatus "Black." Anyone ever heard of this fish? - Frank

Greetings,

I am trying to get some information on C.gracilis.

1. General commercial availability.

2. Difficulty level of breeding.

3. Prices you have seen them retailed for.

Thanks. - Frank

Hi,

Try frybabies.com. That's where I obtained my albinos.

Frank

Hey Monty,

Thanks for enlightening this uneducated American cretin.

Frank

Not to seem like an uneducated American cretin - but just what is £1.00 equal to these days in U.S. $ and what is AU $1 in U.S. $? Out of my 2 dozen about 4 have reached breeding size and they are going to be one of my pet projects in the new year. My albinos are still a bit small but I'm feeding t...

Hi. I don't know if "rare" is the right word, but they certainly command a premium. They are generally available. I have a couple dozen regular and a dozen albino. They generally go for about $12 in my area. - Frank

P.S. They are my FAVORITE cory.

I had a batch of about 200 eggs in a tank. Put in a few drops of Meth Blue. The eggs became completely covered in fugus. Was really busy and just let the tank sit. The eggs then became encased in a clear gelatinous glob of goo. All of them. Not pretty. When I finally got around to cleaning the tank ...

I was so proud of myself for finally catching my cories in the act and as soon as they looked like they were finished - getting them out of the tank. Then, so the guppies wouldn't eat the eggs, I decided to move them, also. What a gooey mess THAT turned out to be. Live and learn. - Guppyman

Hi Coryman, All of my tanks are bare bottomed, and painted flat black. The fry that are now over a week old are about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch.

Who can call a guppy interesting!

Hey - I resemble that statement!"

Greetings, All. A few weeks back I had about 150 albino corys hatch. They are doing great. I distinctly remember knowing that they were albinos from the moment they hatched by their "goldish" hue. A few days ago I had another hatch of about 150 but these were absolutely, positutely - gray....

Hi. If I can stick my two cents in. I'm a member of another forum where people constantly post the "What's wrong with my fish?" question. The next thing you get are 5 or 6 people asking about "temp, water parameters, size of tank, what they feed, etc." and it's a waste of time an...

Greetings All, I thought I would relate a very interesting occurrence that just took place. I have close to 200 - 10 G. tanks of fancy guppies. I generally keep 6 to 10 Corys per tank, depending on their size. For years I've watched them lay eggs and then watched the guppies and the Corys themselves...

I keep no gravel or plants in any of my tanks. Up until now I have only kept common albino corys (6 to 8 per 10 G tank) and they breed like rabbits keeping a constant supply of eggs on the glass which the guppies find quite delectable. All I do is the occassional 10 - 15 degree colder 25% water chan...

Great pictures too btw Would you consider letting Jools use them for the catelog if we need them of the albino type sterbai?

Barbie

Of course you folks may use them. Just LMK so I can send copies stamped, "Used With Permission."

Now - go order a few! - Frank

Greetings All,

Thanks to Barbie I am the proud keeper of a dozen beautiful Albino Corydoras Sterbai.
Enjoy! - Frank/Guppyman

Greetings All, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to intoduce myself. My name is Frank and I am the owner of Laurel Lake Guppies. I have been keeping and raising various tropicals for most of my life (started at age 9) and currently have close to 200 tanks of fancy guppies. I do love all the cory ...
