Re: Breeding Sterbai Corydoras

If the females are in condition, neglect them for a few weeks. Then start up your regime.

What size are the fishes, can you post a pic or two?

Re: Error message when adding occurrences to CLOG pages

That was caused by a line of code I can't remember ever seeing before. But I wrote it! Anyway - the problem is fixed and will work faster in the updated environment.

Re: Catfish Photography

I think you might be right, but I didn't manage to take pictures of it. It was a really ordinary looking pleco, right? But quite the cool species still? Yes, one for the catfish hardcore. A stupidly dull-looking pleco that is only cool to cool catfish people. I use the term "cool people" ...

How are you getting on with growing them out? It'd be interesting to learn if there is a problem with predation.

Re: Driftwood from Alabama River

I'm not sure of the blackened interiors in the lower two. The vertical one might be a conifer and I'd avoid it. The other two look OK but I don't think many, if any, could ID these to species beyond saying they are probably deciduous and probably OK.

Re: Driftwood from Alabama River

I think there are at least two trees in there maybe three. Unless the seller can confirm where they came from and if they've been treated with anything then it's potluck. Sticking them outside in water for a few months would tell you if they'll be OK. I can't help thinking you could collect your own...

Re: Temporarily place my L200 with larger L190?

I'd say this would be OK given you've only got the fishes you mention assuming both plecos aren't bigger than about 150-200mm SL. Why not move them and see how it goes for a few weeks before selling the 1st tank? I'd move the bigger fish into the smaller fish's tank to mix up the bigger fish's terri...

Another thing to add is that plecos are "shrimp-safe". They won't predate on shrimps smaller than a couple of cm.
