Re: WTB: Black Shultzi Corydoras

Are you still looking for some? If so I could contact a person I purchased a group from and see if they had any more available. If they do have any available ill be happy to ask them if its okay for me to pass their contact info on to you and you guys can work it out.

Re: FS-smaller por. Ken's premium foods offering mixed packa

Nice Thanks!! No problem my friend. You know what the postman at my local PO said? He told me to get FedEx/UPS boxes that are the same size or close and just use them. I would not use USPS if I could get comparable pricing from any other carriers but I actually checked and for a service that is sim...

Re: Parotocinclus sp. Nanay Eanea

I think the paler of the four may have succumbed to deaths invite. But iLife can't be sure, only I have not seen the four of them at the same time. I also think that shrimp are a very beneficial inhabitant to a tank. They keep things clean and also a a needed spice of activity as well. I have some p...

Re: Parotocinclus sp. Nanay Eanea

I bet the algae shrimp foods are really good for these fish. While doing some serious research last night I came on a thread on a four that you made back in 07' where there was speculation that these or P.type 3 were perhaps thought to be the fry of L229 I think. It's funny if you Google a subject ...

Man, my fish must be spoiled on NLS; they wouldn't touch this stuff and it turned to mush in the aquariums fast! Even the shrimp went on strike and turned their noses up at it.

I received my package of Nanays today, unfortunately when I opened it up two were DOA. I instantly took pics of them in the bag, unopened. Then took off the outer bag (they were packed in two bags)and held it in a manner where the DOA's moved to the corner and could be photographed more easily. Then...

Wow those are tiny. Pardon my question as I may be asking a stupid one, but that pic is of a nanay, and not the other type you just received? If so it seems like the nanays are about as big as a juvenile CRS? Also I think they will enjoy my veggie sticks w/ Ca and the spirulina flakes I have. Especi...

The ADA Mini-m mine are going to go in has a few c.habrosus and CRS as well so maybe their constant activity will spur the Nanay's to do the same.

That really is not good. I have had my fair share of DOA's when receiving fish and 90% of the time the shipper has been great, as I followed all the procedures but I have had a few instances where the seller was completely in the wrong and did not follow their end of the deal. Its unfortunate. Mark ...

I just retread all the message from Anubis designs yahoo group and Mark (the importer/seller) has been keeping them in the low to mid 70's with no losses at all. Seems better the lower the temp can be for o2 reasons.

Does anyone feel that a tank kept at 74-76 would pose a risk to this fish?
