Hi, i have 4 Otocinclus Cocama (their official name if i am right). They are not to fat aswell. It is a bit a difficult fish to feed. These are the only otocinclus (as far as i know) that are omnivore with a tendency towards the carnifor side of things, were the other Otocinclus appear to be herbivo...

I have a sweet group of 10 aswell. Mine are wildcaught. They are doing great over here. Not a really hard species to keep. Like Narwhal72 says, they eat just fine. They had to get used to Sera Viformo tablets, but like them now. Love frozen black mosquito, frozen artemia and fresh tubifex when avail...

OMG!! Those fish are great! Love the color on them. I would love to get my hands on some, but they are hardly ever offered overhere.

I have 2 Hisonotus Leucofrenatus. 1 of them seems to have a bigger belly...
Would be great if they spawn...!

Do you feed them anything special?

WOOHOO...! That looks awesome...!

Could give us an insight on your "method"? Waterparameters and what triggered them?

These fish look so awesome...!

Might be a Vestitus.... The main difference is the white line between the back of the fish and the black stripe. Hardly any or no white lines is Vestitus.

Hello, is there anybody who has some experience and breeding reports of the beautyful Corydoras Reticulatus? I am able to get my hands on 5 awesome specimens of this very nice Corydoras. I would love to know if this species is a bit "breedable". So far, i only see people asking the same qu...

Wow, that is a really great shot. Mine, i bought the 2 of which the LFS and i didn't know what they were, do look similar. Especially the tail, that seems to be 1/2 colored and the special mouth, looks like a crocodile to me, are very similar. I added 3 pics. 2 of the belly of either fish and 1 of t...

Thanx Dave Rinaldo,

The species you are pointing out is the species I found online yesterday. They do look similar and especially the dark color and the lines along its sides, which are hard to see.

Are you a keeper of this species?

Hello,

I was at a LFS and saw the fish in the picture. In my humble opinion they are some sort of otocinclus. I can 't seem to find the right species.
Anybody any idea? All help is welcome!

My favorites are the C. Loretoensis and the C. Atropersonatus. I luckily own both. The C. Loretoensis is less active here, while the C. Atropersonatus is busy all day!

To keep the eggs from fungus, you can try to add a catappa leaf. The tip i got at my local LFS lately was to add Alder Cones. The person showed me even Ian Fuller seems to like to use them. This worked great for my last group of 94 C. Panda eggs. Although only 45 developed to small fish, the others ...

Welcome fellow Dutchie!

Do you have a picture of the L shaped aquarium? Sounds great!

Thanx Eric, that sounds like a sort of "standard way" to get them to spawn. Great job. How did growing the little fellows work? I read 1 other, german, breeding report and that started out fine with 30 eggs and 30 very small Loretoensis. In the end, only 1 survived without any obvious reas...

Hello all, pretty new to this forum, but thought, why not ask a question. I have been keeping some C. Panda in my community tank and they have been breeding nicely over the past few years. Since i changed my setup to 1 community tank and 4 smaller breeding tanks, the Panda's have moved to one of tho...
