I remember the photo very well. Looking forward to seeing everyone. We need to take a before and after photo lol, depending who many of us are in attendance. I am sad this is the last one. Jools, if you make PC shirts I will take an XXl.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi,

From my experience Cory's can spawn as young as 11 months.

Mark

Corydoras diphyes.

I didn't take a chance. Set up a 30 breeder for a temporary home. My new acquisition seems happy.

Mark

I just brought home a 5" Trachycorystes. Do you think it would be alright in a 30 gallon tank with some C. robustus for a few weeks. The robustus are huge I don't think they would be swallowed.

Mark

Congrats Dave! Well deserved. Great job PVAS.

Mark

I have had eight Brachyrhamdia meesi in a 30 gallon quarantine tank for about a month. Last week I couldn't resist a group of giant Brochis multiradiatus. They have been in the same tank for a few days and the Brachyrhamdia have really done a job picking at the fins of the Brochis. I removed the Bro...

The first US convention had a Cory breeding forum and I believe the second had a pleco forum. They took place in the evening, very informal, beer and good information.

Mark

The informal talks with my old friends as well meeting new friends. It really is one big catfish family and all are welcome. I always return from the convention highly motivated to start new projects in the fish room. Looking forward to returning in 2016 with a stop in Wigan for the CSG 2015 convent...

TTA,

I am interested in the Anubias and Java fern and some L134.

Thanks
Mark

Dan,

I have bred most of my Corydoras in 10 gallon aquariums. That is a little less than 45ltrs. I have not found adolfoi to be difficult to spawn. Although they scatter their eggs about, many are laid at or near the water line.

Good luck
Mark

Dan,

I think it is perfect as is. You have nice cover for the adolfoi as well as an open area. They will be very happy in this set up.

Very nice set up.

Mark

Jools,

I will be attending the North Jersey event which is being held the weekend before the convention. If someone can get me the fish from George I will bring it to the convention for you.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Matt,

I have 8 CW45 and 5 C91. I should be able to spare a male of each. I am sure we can work out a trade.

Mark

I will be arriving on Thursday. I am looking forward to seeing everyone. It has been long time since we have had such a big PC presence at the convention.

Mark

I have not seen any in a long time. I had a nice group. A great mid water swimming Cory.

Mark

I only knew one person who had c065's in the US. I would love to get some myself.

Mark

Did you get the Centrodoras from Jeff Rapps. I saw he had them for sale last week.
Mark

Regular fish bags are fine. You can bag the fish individually and they will be fine if shipped overnight in a styro. Breather bags are not good as the Synos can poke holes thought them with their spines.

Mark

The Centrodoras is a very easy fish to keep. I had one for a number of years. It could only be seen at night when the lights were off and that was not often. How large is the tank you are going to use to house this fish. You can see images of my fish in the Cat-eLog.

Mark

As I previously stated, the shape of the snout is a major difference between haraldschultzi and sterbai as well as the color pattern.

Mark

Great progress so far. Hopefully you will get a viable spawn soon.

Mark

The fish are probably schwartzi. Haraldschultzi are much larger than sterbai and have a long snout.

Mark

The fish is . It grows to about a foot in length. No special requirements, easy to keep.

Mark

I purchased six of these as well. They didn't look like kanei. Any ideas Ian.

Thanks,
Mark

The left and center photos look like females. The fish in the middle right photo is a male.

Mark

Welcome to PlanetCatfish.

Mark

I use the Xtreme Catfish PeeWee as part of a varied diet for my Cory's. The food is readily taken.

Mark

I can't wait to see everyone at the convention. I believe this will be the largest PlanetCatfish turnout since the first convention in 2004.
