I looked for Ruinemans and I can order from France. On the other hand, I find that they have very little choice in terms of catfish... Otherwise I have a wholesaler near me who offers acclimatized fish (so not just in transit), would this be a good solution? On the other hand, he told me that it wa...

Having treated with esha ndx, what other treatment do you recommend? The last victim died yesterday. I'll try to take a photo of the remaining 3 if you ever see something that I don't see. I noticed yesterday that there was one rubbing itself and I find their gills very red. Reason why I had treate...

Good morning I come to you because I am having a problem with only corydoras habrosus. I got the first ones a few months ago, picked up from a private person. I kept them for a few months and suddenly they started having the same symptoms one after the other: -difficulty swimming -weight loss So th...

Hi I bought a cory but the saleswoman no longer had the name. In order to find its congeners I would like to know its species. I'm thinking of Corydoras nanus, what do you think? https://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/20/39/07/77/img_2149.jpg https://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/20/39/07/77/img_2148.jpg https://i8...

;)) 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...

Hello,

Is it possible to breed an average size corydoras, around 5cm, in a 35x25x20cm aquarium?

Hi, I have never seen submerse plants in the biotopes there, in general most running waters in the area are not home to aquatic vegetation. Your tank looks spot on! I'd add some more wood, maybe a large piece, behind which they can hide, but that would be all. Iguanodectes are living in the same ar...

Nice,

Are you gonna buy them.

No, I have already used up my fish budget for the month and they aren't in the best shape. They are large and only $25ea which I think is a good price.

Yes 25 is for cw027 a good price.

@Manoah, I haven't spawned them yet. This has just been my log for what I am trying.

That is delphax. Not brevirotris and not melanistius. Melanistius and brevirotris have smLler spots, short nose and more black. Delphax s often sold as melanistius while its not. Also delphax has like verticle striped melanistius and brevirotris don’t

Yes, indeed. I have a group of 7. Unfortunately, I do not have access to live feed at the moment. I do have rain water though and am trying to trigger them. I haven't seen any spawning interest though. There is a second spawn from the Swedish group with 17 eggs and higher fertility. I think live fe...

Thank you. Its clear to me that this is, in fact a hard species to breed. And only 8 eggs

Thanks!

That is the thing with holotype locations. They represent a single point of discovery only. In the case of C. concolor the ho!otype location is actually the very southern edge of their range in the wild. For a llanos tank it all depends if you want to recreate the wet season or dry season. Wet seas...

C. schultzei is from a completely different river system in Peru. C. venezuelanus is restricted to the Tuy and Valencia basins. C. sp. llanos is found south of the Andes in the northern llanos of Venezuela. As one travels further south in the llanos it disappears and is replaced by C. concolor. I a...

corydoras schultzi black is a man made variant. they do not exist in the wild But in shanes venezuela dairy he tells about catching these in the llanos. So?? Oh tanks, Thats probably a darker variation of the c.Schultzei? Or c.venezuelanus? No, he doesn't, he talks about this: Corydoras(ln7) sp`lla...

Hi there,

Does anyone, maybe shane, have fotos of the habitat of the location corydoras schultzei black lives in the llanos?

I've put 10 C. sterbai in a tank that size. It can be done if you keep the water quality high. But it can also be a fragile balance and is at risk of water chemistry changes if you don't keep it stable. Cheers, Eric Thanks eric. I will do good maintenance. I don’t feed heavely and all my tanks have...

Hello,

Can i put 10x c.weitzmani in a 60cm tank? 60x30x25cm. The water level would be 25 cm to mimic the shallow creeks they live in.

Thank you

-manoah

The Cat e-Log has some excellent pictures of their natural habitat where they may be collected. Always worth looking through the e-Log pages to see if they have information you need; sometimes saves the trouble of having to making a post :) Oh i will look for that. Yesterday the pictures didn’t loa...

Hi,
This might be a good question for @shane, but any help is apreciated

How does the habitat of corydoras septentrionalis look like? And does anyone have fotos?

-Manoah

Does anyone have fotos from creeks, streams or ponds in venezuela where they colelcted corydoras. Maybe @shane has some fotos. I did read the venezuela dairys but there is not a lot of fotos there.


-Manoah

Do you have any plants in the tank? That might help tigger them. In my experience, aeneus really likes broad leaf plants, although aeneus would also lay some eggs on glass and on other random surfaces. If they are trying to do the T-position action, then they may already be laying eggs, but eating ...

Hello,some of my corydoras aeneus and gossei are full of eggs. I did a 40% cold waterchange 2 days ago. Since then they are very active and chasing each other. Also they are trying to do the t shape. This has been going on for 2 days but still no eggs. Would it just take a few more days or can i do ...
