I noticed yesterday that the largest of the corys in my tank was acting quite strange, he would keep going back to the same leaf on one of the amazon ...

Cordyroasworld is Ian Fuller (Coryman's) commercial web-site. It has a little bit of free content, but most of the "good stuff" is only available to members. It costs money to run a web-site [and keep it filled with content]. Not everyone are as enthusiastic as Jools about donating their income to ...

Ian is running the website http://www.corydorasworld.com wich is the number one place to be if you're into Corys.

i will keep my eyes open at the same shop and try to get hold of some males of the same species if they are sexed easily ?

unfortinately the plecs were bought several months back so i wont be able to get any information about them from the fish store, looks like i will just have to go with rio_ucayali.

yeah that names come up a couple times. i thought initially they were starlight bristlenose plecs untill i went to buy a male from another forum and it was pointed out that they probably wernt starlights

I am new to this site so a quick hello to everyone.

I have 3 of these bristlenose plecs and am urgently trying to find out what type they are. All 3 are about 4 inches in length and i think are some sort of small bristlenose, beleived all to be females
