I have 6 Cory Trilineatus (sold to me as Julii cory) in a Marineland Eclipse System 12 along with an abino bristlenose pleco, 1 amano shrimp and 1 bamboo (wood) shrimp.

The first time my cories spawned (2-3 months ago?), either the majority of the eggs wee unfertilized or didn't make it. The few ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm completely new to breeding and didn't intentionally breed the cories. I just let mother nature do her work. I don't have a plastic container right now and have never bred brine shrimp. I do have Hikari freezed dried brine shirmp though, will this do?

Is it best not to move ...

A couple of my three lined cories spawned about over a week ago. I was pretty sure that I didn't get a successful batch until I noticed two small frys swimming around in the the gravel bed of my Eclipse System 12. They look like little tadpoles. At least one of my corys spawned again yesterday as I ...

Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind should I go for another rubberlip pleco.

Sad to say, but my rubberlip pleco, Mick Jagger, has died. Can't figure it out. Water parameters I just tested are fine: pH 7.0, NH3: 0, NO2: 0, NO3: 5.

The only thing I can think of is the major water change I did 2 days ago might have stirred up some bacteria in the gravel or the addition of 3 ...

I know its at the top of the range recommended for the rubbernose, but I also have some three-lined cories in there and its sort of a happy medium. My pleco seemed fine for the first 2 weeks.

I had my heater set at 75 deg. Farenheit.

Well, the white banding has gotten larger and pleco looks a little stiff. Hard to see if his gills are moving because he is kind of hidden.

Anyone?

I found my rubberlip/bulldog pleco lying on his back with his belly sticking up earlier this morning. I was wondering if he was dead and then he scooted over a few inches on his back and has remained stuck to the base of a plastic plant. His dorsal fin is raised and I see some lighter color banding ...
