Re: What Fish Do I Need

I breed CW009 to support my hobby. It pays for my hobby but no real profit aside from allowing me to splurge once in awhile on other expensive fish I wanted. I looked for a rarer easy care fish that everyone wanted but couldn't get easily. Corys are great for that. Easy care, mostly easy to breed an...

Interesting pattern on "BN"?

Picked these 2 out of a ancistrus tank along with 2 albino BN. Slow growing maybe 3" and 2.5" long compared to the albinos almost 4". Any help on I'd especially the chubby one with the neat pattern. Pretty sure the smaller one is just a regular bn female but not 100%. Thanks in advance.

It's occupants are some altolamprolongus calvus, some cyprichromis and hoping to add some synodontis luciPinnis. Water is going to be 78-80F, 300TDS an...

Re: Mixing Corys?

I would advise against mixing those horn dogs with others. I had a group of 5 pandas in a 75G with around 20 Habrosus, there both sees present in both groups. I had to destroy so many eggs due to witnessing fertilizathon on habrosus females eggs by panda males

Re: Gold laser and albino corys interbreeding!!!

Same species, provided your albino are albino aeneus and not albino sterbai. The lasers are classified under aeneus (corydorasworld.com), so not hybrids but just a washed out coloration of the gold laser would be the result.

Re: I love corys, but....which ones?

I would suggest some décor in the tank before adding corys, a big bright open space is just going to stress them out.

I've always found melafix to be a better treatment for barbel loss and it also seems to relax them a bit better in times of stress along with the water changes. Works well on torn or nipped fins as well and most fish aside from some bettas usually respond well to it for fin rot. Fingers crossed for ...
