Re: Rare Cory CW049 ?

Thanks for bringing these fish in Saul!
I hope you could get a good sale.
I saw a similar thread in Chinese forum. People were saying in Hong Kong, CW049 is running about 500-600 Yuan a piece, that is about $70-85.

Re: How do I breed C. Metae???

My bred in 55g display tank without purposely trigger them to spawn. I haven't notice them breed so frequent, but that could also means other corries ate the eggs before I found them.

CW21 VS. C. Axelrodi ??

I won 6 of CW21(?) yesterday from Pete on AB, aka Lotoffish. Fish haven't come in yet, but Pete is very nice on communication. At the same time, I asked a well known cory breeder, and he suggested those fish I won are actually C. Axelrodi (based on ad pictures) . Now, I am really confused about what...

Hi there, It might be the fresh water you are adding thats at fault, have you checked it? Do you have some mature filter media from another tank to use? Check the temp - has the heater stat jammed?
