Hey you guys are to quick, I shall have to stay at home all day to keep up with the posts. To give you a little more info on Cory maturity, a lot depends on the species. C. pygmaeus can and will be fully mature in about three months. C. paleatus; C. aneus; and most of the so called round or short no...

Try a litle Methylene blue, I use it in most of my Cory breeding tanks after the eggs have been laid.

What othe Cory species do you have in stick?

Where are you located?

Ian

bård I bred C. schwartzi in April 1998. It is one of the 65 Cory species I have bred that are featured in my book ' Breeding Corydoradinae catfish'. They are not the easiest I have bred, in fact they spawned in a community tank in the company of perhaps another 15 or 20 species. It was fortunate tha...

That would be fine, I tried looking for it on the web but kept comming to dead ends. Don't know where to look really?

Ian

Hi Lee

Where can I obtain a copy of the paper and is there any images of live specimens published

Ian

As I recall they were cought from different areas. Jools caught C. venezeulanus when he was over there I am sure he can tell you if he say or caught any C. aeneus with them.

The so called C. schultzi came in with some sp cf elegans but I don't think they are quite the same body shape.

Ian

Have you tried Wholesale tropicals at Bethnal Green, their lists always look impresive.

Ian

You are right in that they're not very common at all. I have one at the moment and am also kooking for more. They do like planted aquaria and will spend a lot of time up in the plants and not on the bottom like most Cory's I have a friend in Scotland that has bred them in the past. Where are you loc...

Rain water is good providing where you live the rainfall is not subjected to industrial polution. It will need filtering, I collect from my house and fish house roofs, it passes through a home made gravel and wool filter to remove any sediment it washes of the roofs before being stored in 200 ltr ba...

This one is a bit tricky, as you say, C. aeneus is allegedly very wide spread and vary variable in colour pattern, which is something that I cannot quite accept. The picture that I show is what I consider to be the true C. schultzi but I may be wrong. The type specimens of C. aeneus were described f...
