Some pet stores will buy guppy fry, otherwise you could get a frog tank/pond or give them away to friends with big fish :). Even with 10 Sterbai's your tank is already overstocked even before considering any number of Guppies, sorry. You need to consider the floorspace requirements of cories, 5 ...

I can't help but comment that 12 cory's and 30 guppes in a 55L is massively overstocked. Those conditions would be causing prolonged and unavoidable stress to the fish population and weakening their resistance to disease.

It is possible with the warm weather that your tank is heating up during the ...

Is anyone able to advise me further please?

Ok, I've had a better look, the lesions look like white fuzzy patches, could be fungal? Fish still acting relatively normally although look a little wobbly on the bottom from time to time, still eating and foraging. Barbel damage is not widespread (2 affected, 2 not) and doesn't seem to be getting ...

The Cory's were purchased a week after the Rasbora's, so I've had them for no more than about 6-7 weeks total, I can't quite remember when I introduced them exactly. I was very careful when selecting them, and know that they went in with barbels etc in tact. I would not be surprised if they were ...

Safe medication for Sterbai's

Hello,

I am new to this forum, thank you in advance for your advice. I have had four Corydoras Sterbai in a 60L planted tank, and they seem to be sick. I'll tell you the whole story.

The tank has been established for about 2 years. Recently (about 5-6 weeks ago) I changed the population to Rasbora ...
