I think your fish might be C. armatus. It looks more high bodied than my C. loretoensis.

Hmm...I have wondered about the same. Bought a group of C. loretoensis lately, and they seem more slender and not so high bodied as the C. armatus. But I agree the differences are limited, especially when they are still very small.

Good luck on the C. panda's. I have noticed that mine lay a lot more eggs at 20-21 degrees celcius than at 24-25 degrees celcius. However, they are easy

I have some Corydoras pantanalensis that are over 8 cm.'s long, but I think C. robustus and some long nosed species grow even larger.

I've had the same problem in my Corydoras tanks. Very large planaria (15-20 mm) that ate every egg they could find...and they are very good at finding eggs. Waterchanges, cutting bak the food etc. didn't help, so now I've treated all tanks with Flubenol three days ago. I only saw one single planaria...

C. panatanlensis has clear fins, yours has "stripes" in the fins...forgot to give the reason for my ID before.

I'd say C. sodalis...

I'd say P. jumbo. I breed a lot of them, and the pattern can vary quite abit.

I would assume that baby bristlenose would have a go at eating the eggs, but I am not shure.

Good luck anyway

Thank you very much Matt! Very helpful

...what do you think?

...apparently they are called planaria...

Hello everyone! Recently some of my tanks have been infested with large turbellaria. They eat absolutely everything that is edible, including all eggs that are being laid. I have tried turning the temperature up to 38 degrees celcius with no avail. I have tried talking to a vet about getting some Fl...

Hello Ian, my fish are between 5 and just over 6 centimetres total length.

I was also considering if they were a spottet type of C. leopardus or something. But, C. lamberti was the closest in my opnion.

Yesterday I was lucjy enough to get 5 of these Corydoras. I found them at a friends fish-room and since he had 10, I could get the 5 of them. The question is: What are they? They were labelled as "Corydoras Peru II", and I've come to the conclusion that it might be Corydoras lamberti, as t...

Wouldn't be so worried. I've kept apisto's and corydoras together for some years, and the apisto's killed none of them. In fact, the Corydoras didn't really seem to care if the apisto's were agressive.

Well, the C. nanus turned out to be C. napoensis and the C. diphyes died a coulpe of days prior to me being able to get them, so I bought some C. loretoensis instead.

Hmm...all of my 3 females looks like the on in the picture...

Thank you Joern, haven't seen that!...29 degrees celcius! That's hot...

Hmm...didn't find anything but Columbian rivers on the site...but I'll keep looking.

About the C. pantanalensis:
The males are showing excellent colours and patterns! They are very easy to distinguish from the females, but no real breeding behaviour as of yet...

Thank you Joern, I'll try that!

I'm about to get a bag of each of these species and I have searched the net for info regarding water parameter (temp etc.) with no real result, so I thought I'd ask in here.


Hope you can help...

Thank you Ian, it's the "gold lazer" I've been comparing it to. Gold shoulder makes more sense.

Ok, just thought they were rather faded compared to some of the gold stripe varieties I've seen pictures of.

Hi, I have 4 of these Corydoras that I picked up from af mixed tank at a LFS. The fish was quite young and had a golden stripe along the back, Now they've matured and they've bred several times, but the golden stripe seems to have faded a bit. The fry are almost a year old and have a golden stripe l...

Sounds like Cory eggs...

1: C. sodalis.

2: Probably C. elegans.

Ok, now I understand...a bit tired after a 12 hour night shift ...thought I'd missed something. Thank you for explaining it.

When did semiaquilas become a genus like scleromystax, brochis, corydoras, etc.? And wich species belongs to this genus...

Siphon it with a hose when you change the water.
