Re: Corydoras similis are like in their nature

I found this video corydoras in more lotic conditions on more rough substrate and thought I would share it. I know we often say that corydoras don't like rough substrate but...... Who says they like it? :wink: :lol: Seeing videos of cories in the wild (or any other cory video) always makes me wonde...

Re: Some picks of C121

I bought mine at Aquamanias. I think it was what was left behind from an order made by Mona. They are beautiful cories. But mine has only spawned twice, and didn't produce many eggs either of the times. I picked the eggs, but they all went bad. But if I get eggs from them again, I will try using Aqu...

Re: Some picks of C121

Lucky you! My group has only spawned twice during the years I've had them (it's partly my own fault, as they don't have a species only tank). And I didn't get any fry from the eggs. It's a beautiful cory, and your group looks nice and healthy. :D

Re: I just have to share...

Thanks! Breeding them is a dream of mine. But large cories aren't the easiest to breed. If I succeed, what an amazing number of fry that would be! Those large bodies must spawn an infinte number of eggs. :lol:

It looks like all the eggs but one hatced. That means more than 600 little ones! :shock: And as I have bred schultzeis before, I know that most of them will survive until adulthood.

Yesterday I got my largest spawning shock ever. My group c. schultzei has a habit of spawning quite a lot of eggs when they spawn. They've only spawned twice before, and has given me about 100 fry all together. They've been saving up eggs (and I've overfed them pretty much) for a few months now, and...

Re: Is Corydoras trilineatus easy to breed?

Well, the joy of spawning seems to spread in the tank, as the trilineatus' tankmates, c. duplicareus, spawned for their first time today too. It's my 8th cory species this autumn. I have no idea what on earth is happening, as I haven't had much success in cory breeding before. I had only bred 2 spec...

Well, my trilineatus has a lot of current, and they seem to spawn every day now. Actually I am starting to get a little worried about them. I can't imagine how they can have any eggs left, and they are certainly not as fat as they were. I will have to remove one of the filters as soon as possible, a...

I just have to comment those wonderful fishes. I've bought Mona's group (I alread had a small group, but they were too few). They have now had a new spawning, and they delivered more than 300 eggs! :shock: So they haven't forgotten about their old habits. The eggs haven't hatched yet, but so far the...

Re: Is Corydoras trilineatus easy to breed?

I've had no problems with breeding c. trilineatus. When it comes to spawning, my group has gone totally nuts lately, spawning almost every day. The reason for this behaviour is that there's an awful lot of current in their tank right now, as I am cycling a new filter along with the old cycled one, w...

Re: What went wrong?

The initial medication I gave them when I bought them, should have taken care of parasites. They were medicated with Flubenol 15 twice (or maybe also a third time, after they started dying - I can't remember for sure). And the Flubenol were not underdosed. They were also medicated with Esha Hexamita...

Re: Two c. sterbai ill for some time

Here you have a very, very late update on this case, which really was solved in a strange way. After the medication, the cories got better, but they never got totally well. They continued to have ragged fins, especially one of them. This went on for months, until I ended up on hospital for 6 weeks. ...
