Re: Corydoras breeding tank size
Is it possible to breed an average size corydoras, around 5cm, in a 35x25x20cm aquarium? In the USA, that's just a little smaller than a 5 gallon aquarium. In my opinion (and it is just that - an opinion), I would say that if you're being thoughtful about the social welfare of your fish (that is, k...

Re: What kind of corydoras?
Looks like a hybrid of long fin Corydoras panda and Corydoras sterbai. Do you have those in the tank?

Re: ...Dwarf Wabenmusters?
Huh, that's pretty interesting... Are the eggs and fry proportionally smaller, and do they have decent hatch rates (if they hatch at all)? I still can't get over how small these guys are; would make for a great pleco for a smaller tank, if it was merely a harmless genetic mutation (which I'm guessi...

New spawn today while I was at work. It's rare for me to find woodcats spawning in daytime.

Re: ...Dwarf Wabenmusters?
Hi, I've got a group of wabenmuster, all from the same breeder, maybe from the same spawn (they were about the same size when purchased, but may have been from separate spawns close together). Two of my males are huge, well over 10 cm SL. But two of my males are small like yours, about 6 cm SL. I've...

Glad your animals did well. Yes, all 14 of the baby whiptails I got survived and are doing well in my tank.

Re: Both bought a Akysis prashadi. Are they the same species?
So, is the idea that the eggs will fall into the glass dish? Yes, there's a plastic "knitting canvas" mesh over the glass dish, with some fake plant stems and the spawning mop. Hopefully, if the fish are in the mood, they release eggs over the bowl and I catch them in the dish. Achim said...

You and your cryptic catfishes! ;-) -Shane Lol. I guess I'm too untrusting of exporter/importer IDs. 🤣 I imagine the tail pattern differences might be normal variation but might also be exaggerated by how widespread the fish hold their tails when I photograph them. 20240323_171743~2.jpg Having said...

Hi All, At the CSG convention, with the help of @Catfish-ologist, I got 10 Akysis prashadi from Aqualife Leyland.

Hi jd_7655, Where do you go from here? I'd say just leave them alone for now. If you have a male and female in the cave (vs. two males fighting for the cave), they will either lay eggs or break up... if the latter, then you know they're at least slightly interested, so be patient. If they haven't la...

I didn't find even one good unhatched egg in tank. These new bad eggs are therefore at least 5 days old, which narrows the possible spawning date to 09-13 March: 10 January - about 42 good eggs collected 8 day interval 18 January - about 160 good eggs collected 8 day interval 26 January - egg count ...

Re: Fry Rearing Method for Angelfish
Thanks for sharing. I'm curious. Do the angelfish eggs hatch in chlorinated water? Since the eggs don't all hatch at once, do the early wigglers get harmed by the chlorine while waiting for the later eggs to hatch?
