Can Scleromystax barbatus live with cherry shrimp or will the cherry shrimp be eaten?

At what age does Scleromystax barbatus start to breed and what is good male/female ration for breeding?

Lots of good research on fish growth

Water quality and food being equal the least crowded group grows fastest.
Crowding and food being equal the group with the best water quality grows second fastest.
Crowding and water quality equal the group with more food grows third fastest.

Hi all,
I have about 100 Cw009 corydoras catfish fry in a 60 l with aeration an a good heater, it's at 24 C flawlessly been alive for 1 month now, but it seems like they grown only little. I do water change everyday 50% and I feed them microworm and moina.

Hi, at what size or age can cw009 find a new home?

Hi, I just bought 10 4-7 cm old L397 and I am wondering do they grow slow or fast and at what age or size do you usually see their gender.

Which is better for breeding tank, bare bottom, or substrate tank?

Does anyone have picture of male and female L397 pleco side by side picture? I am still beginner and I am unsure do I have male or female L397.

Hi! At what age does L183 start breeding?

I bred them in "community" tank with corydoras sterbai, ancistrus, a ram and lemon tetras. Fry survived just fine but second spawn I moved cave since while the fry might survive catching them is neigh impossible in a arranged tank.

My group was about 2 years old when they started to breed and now ...

Hi, At what age do L397 start breeding and is it possible to breed them in community tank?

The plecos could go together with no trouble, but I think the corys would like a cooler tank.

I keep both L397 and L387 at 27-29⁰C. They could be kept a little cooler.

Cheers, Eric


Thank you for answering.

What tank size do you keep them together and how many do you have them together? Do ...

Can L397 pleco be in the same tank as other pleco (l387) and green laser Corydoras? And what is best temperature for keeping them together?
