And welcome to the forum!

It is hard to tell what is going on but if I was you, I'd treat with a combination of eSHa exit and eSHa 2000. Those two should fix it and are easily found in the U.K..

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing! Good job.

I bought some of these from Msjinkzd. They are really cool. They seem to be more active than my other otos (I now have 4 species) and are the smallest of them all. In fact, I like them so much that I ordered some more. They arrive tomorrow

Thank you!

Thanks, Jools. How do I contact Hans-Georg Evers?

Hi all,

I found a really nice article about dwarf cories online (NOT on this site!). But then I realized it is the same article by Hans-Georg Evers in Amazonas (September / October 2013)... and the site I found did not even mention Hans-Georg Evers' name or indicate that they had permission to use ...

Lovely! I wish my zebra otos would give me a few babies! Which otos are these?

Cory cats are very addictive so you will probably want to get every available type

I think there are many factors to consider. For one thing, what is your tank size and what other fish do you have in it? Also, how long has the tank itself being running?

If it was the substrate, wouldn't they all be affected?

also Prime is a good choice for water conditioner. but don't randomly put it in the tank each week. only add to new water that's coming into the tank. 2-3 drops per gallon. so basically just treat new water.

Agreed.

You aren't hurting anything with the foam filter squeezes... sounds like you ...

I always drip acclimate... the temperature thing is never an issue because I have no heaters in my tanks - they are all room temp. No issue there for me.

Yes, the nitrates may be sky high ... which leads to something called Old Tank Syndrome... where the old fish seem fine but new fish die fast ...

I am very happy to report that a friend managed to help me get a group of 20 hastatus ... and this morning I spotted two wrigglers in the tank

Yes, happened with one of my sterbai cories. The guy who owned her gave her to me because she was the only cory he had. At that time she was in a tank with bushynose plecos.

She has many cory friends now

Hi there,

Earlier this afternoon, as I threw some food into one of my cory tanks, I noticed a female C. venezuelanus carrying what looked like one egg, closely followed by a male--in usual cory fashion. Then I saw a group of eggs on the glass under the filter's flow.

So I waited a bit for them to ...

Congratulations!

Nice. If the wood comes from another tank it probably has all sorts of yummy microscopic creatures living on it

I have a tank with panda and duplicareus cories in it. The pandas spawn constantly and produce regular and long-finned fry. I introduced the 9 duplicareus as juvies to their tank a few months ago and have read accounts of them hybridizing with Pandas... ((Seems that Pandas have a reputation for ...

Sand on the bottom does make a big difference for many cories. They truly prefer it. It seems to make the system healthier too as more fry survive when there is sand.

At what age are your duplicareus starting to spawn? I have some in a tank with my panda cories and I am worried they may hybridize.

Actually, let me rephrase - you once helped me with information to save my endlers from parasites but I am sure you help so many you won't remember me All the best and thank you for helping make this a great hobby.

Hi Frank,

You don't know me but I am really sad to see you leave the hobby. I do wish you all the best.

Agreed, after you switch all the lights off wait about 30 minutes and then drop in some bottom feeder pellets for the cories.

I seldom ever give mine algae wafers. Instead I give them foods like Hikari sinking wafers.

still looking and hoping

Anyone? I am still looking and hoping!

The smaller ones (i.e. middle and back) are Corydoras bilineatus. I have 5 of them and really enjoy them. They are more like the elegans cory and they swim mid-water more than my other cories.

Hey there ... I know this is an old post but I stumbled across it and noticed that one of the original questions was never answered, i.e. What cories are these? Answer: Corydoras habrosus, one of my favorites. It is one of the few types of dwarf cories. Love them.

AquaClarity should redo their home page. The design is not easy to read

Yeah, unfortunately his site doesn't display correctly in Internet Explorer. I tried it in Google Chrome and it worked fine there. I personally have never enjoyed a dark background on a website though. Hard on the eyes but so ...

some of them can be kinda hard to find and aquaticclarity has some pretty good prices as well.

I was recently referred to contact Aquatic Clarity for a hard-to-find fish I have been searching for. I must say that it was a pleasant experience as he responded to my emails right away. He came highly ...

Not much material, sorry! I experienced it firsthand and then found this.

Afaics you've read it the wrong way round and/or ignored (in the good sense; no offence meant) the word "erroneously".


Now that I read it again, you are right - I think I took it differently to how they meant it. Also, I clarified with Rachel O'Leary today and said she that when she ordered ...
