Hi Eric, Thanks for the great info! I do regularly attend SF club meetings and auctions as I am a member. I have been there for a mega auction last month. The Sacramento one is a little too far from where I live unfortunately......

These fish are just above 1'' in length. $3 each.
The parents of these fish were obtained from different place and therefore unrelated.
Only available for local pickup (East Bay CA: e.g. Richmond, Albany, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Oakland).
Thanks for looking.

This is because they are still too young.
I breed sterbai and all of my young sterbai look like yours. There is nothing to worry. The pattern will change when they get older and bigger.

A friend of mine who breed farmed commercial freshwater fish suggest me use some hormones and/or feed them fish brains/gonads. Not sure if this would be a good idea...

Males chase females like crazy every time after a water change, but females are never interested. If I still can not get them to spawn, I will sell half of the group (7) to someone else who might have better luck. I am a little tired after more than a year's experiments.

I have a group of 14 large WC individuals and I split them into three tanks with various m/f ratios and water parameters. I have also tried other funny things that are not necessary for other corys.

I have tried a year: no luck at all.

Hey Eric, if you are looking for eques you can find them from US. 1. https://aquaticclarity.com/index.php/in-stock-fish/ 2. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwcatfishc&1484883021 3. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwcatfishc&1485132483 I got my eques from...

Niklas & Eric,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
Next thing I will try is to only leave 3-4 eques in the breeding tanks. Currently I have 7 and 8, respectively. Not sure if this change will work...

Eric, do you go to SFAS meetings/auctions? I sometimes go.

Best, Ke

I have a breeding group. They do very well between 72F-76F.

Good luck with the treatment.

Hi all, In March I bought 15 wild caught C. eques adults. I split them into two 20G tanks. One group has 7 and another has 8. Both have mixed sexes. I have put floating plants and mops in those two tanks. The females have big bellies and males are also quite large. I think that they have reached sex...

A group of 19, tank raised adults. This group has constantly bred in a 20G in the past. Size of the fish: 1.75'' (on average). Fish are originally purchased from Neptune aquatics (San Jose), 6th avenue aquarium (SF) in last summer, and Wet Spot (Portland) in last fall. Can split the group if needed....
