Thanks for all your opinions guys. I guess its best to wait and see how he grows for a definite ID. Either way he's a fantastic tankmate and is definitely a lovely fish.

All the pics I've seen of C. gomezi show it has a quite distinct lateral stripe... and some reticulation of its markings, particularly around its head/shoulders. Does this vary a lot?

I've managed to measure him too... he's just over 2" from tip to tip.

I've managed to get a couple more photos to see if that helps...

Not great pics I'm afraid - this is a very active little guy. I'd expected it to be like most of the ...

Hi, Bought this guy from LFS as a single one. They said he had come in a shipment of C. robineae which he clearly isn't, but they couldn't be sure what he was so they let me have him for £3. Can anyone help?

Tetra Tabimin contain 60% protein so will have a look at the Aquarian tablets, or stick with the Hikari and supplement with frozen foods.

Thanks for your advice.

Mike - the salt seems to be doing the trick on the bubble... fingers crossed we can get the little lady back to good health

Mats - thanks.. your comments were valuable once i understod the relevance :D

Re: foods, I checked the foods I have (and use) for my corys and found the following. The ...

If that was your meaning then it maybe should have been included in your post to avoid confusion... as you have now explained your reasons (thank you btw) your point is taken...

But, as explained, the Corys only eat the minimal amounts that escape the bettas, who are fed this maybe once per ...

Just a quick update for you. She was transferred to hospital tank yesterday morning and treated with salts (in the form of KB Tonic) and a dose of Interpet No 9 (Anti Internal Bacteria) and this morning the bubble has all but gone and she is scutting around a bit more. Have added a single food ...

Thanks for your replies guys... Have already got her moved to a hospital tank this morning. I added King British Revitaliser Tonic to the water as this is my usual method of salting tanks. Would regular salt be better?? The hospital is a 12l acrylic with no substrate, a 25W heater (temp set at ...

Hi,

I recently acquired a small (c. 1") female Corydoras elegans by accident (delivered to LFS in a shipment of Otocinclus affinis ). All has been well for the last few weeks, but then yesterday morning I noticed she was looking a little swollen around the tummy. Thinking it could possibly be ...

Thanks for your advice guys. Looks like he is a she in that case... She's doing really well at the mo, always first to the food despite being the smallest of my corys. She was very much on the slim side when I got her, probably due to the fact she'd been in with the Otocinclus in my LFS. Filling out ...
