Try looking through 'Shane's world'. There are plenty of spawning accounts on Cory's that may interest you.

You also may be interested in this article on spawning Corydoras paleatus:

Hi Shane

I have the article in my files and can get you a citation if needed.

I would appreciate a copy my friend.

I picked up a male and two females around 10 days ago. These are one of my favorite small bagrids. I would have missed them entirely if it was not for Neil pointing them out to me as they were in the top tanks. Yes they do hide away a bit but once settled in they will always come out for food, nice ...

I believe that your fish maybe

Looks like a nice set up.
I agree with Kim that your fish are Aspidoras C125

For general information see:

this is a female? with eggs? or they've sprouted allready?

Probably its dinner. These catfish can and regularly predate on fish that are larger than themselves and their stomach stretches to accommodate such meals.

I too have kept these, but, sadly it has been a while since I last found any for sale in my area. The foods that I fed them on were: Live & frozen bloodworm's, live & frozen adult brine shrimps and earth worms other than those they didn't seem to be interested in commercial foods such as fla...

Hello and welcome to PCF. Is the pattern of distribution of the substrate in your tank just down to the activity of the goonches? The reason why I am asking (and I know that this tank is just a holding tank until your 50 is ready for them) is that I can not tell from your photographs if you are usin...

It could also be
A couple of years ago Ingo Seidel brought some to the CSG convention.
The spots BTW disappear on L88 as the fish matures.

It looks like it may be Hemibagrus wyckioides . But, at that size which bagrid your catfish actually is, it is a tad hard to nail down. I think it maybe a case of letting your fish settle into its aquarium, letting it put on more growth (which may not take long) and then getting a more complete phot...

Can I have copies also please HH

Unsure about: ................................... baby brine shrimps

Try newly hatched brine shrimp < 24 hrs old; in my experience baby brine shrimp >24 hrs old tends to constipate Corydoradinae catfishes

Looks to me more like C87, but I agree the catfish look like they need to settle down and another photograph took of them.

HI Steve,

I some of these a few years back. They are very active and seem to like plenty of water movement. I had mine for about 12 months and then I started to lose them, water chemistry was fine, so maybe they are a short lived species; dunno .
Nice catfish though.

Get away with you, these are fish that need really good water quality, water management would be really difficult on a tank that size. I don't think 9 litres volume is really enough water volume for any fish, other than possibly a pair of Oryzias latipes or some Red Cherry Shrimps? Sorry, Darrel I ...

but the tank they are being kept in isn't great shape for them

Try changing the substrate from gravel to sand as these like to lay partially or completely submerged in the substrate.

I have a breeding group of five Aspidoras 'sp' gold... £16 for the group or would consider swapping for some Mothcats or Asian waspcats.
I also have available some CW10 'Gold Lazer' corys @ £5 each.

Happy to learn that there are pple out there like such "un attractive" looking species. I prefer to call these character catfish, and one genus that are quite nice to watch when they are feeding. Has anyone successfully spawned any of this genera? The closest I was able to get was a coupl...

I have a female C napoensis that I have had for over 12 years now. It was a 'rescued' fish from a tank someone was throwing out, although her maxillary barbels were nothing more than stumps and she had ventral fins that had not grow back very well from an infection or such, I didnt think it was righ...

What food to feed has always been a moot point. I feed my Corydoradinae species a varied diet, of flake tablet, pelleted, frozen and live foods. but, it all comes down to personal preference. On the commercial dried feeds I know guys in other parts of the UK prefer Tetra products and others Aquarian...

I was fortunate a few years ago to be given some N stellatus that had come into a LFS as a surprise mixed in with some small Batasio. I managed to keep them alive for over 18 months. They were quite active whilst feeding otherwise they hid away amongst the tank decor. Nice fish and one that I wish w...

A copy if possible HH.

Me to, please HH

Hi Dave

Looks a C141 to me too

HI Roland

I have not heard of anyone spawning Brochis Britski.
Although Brochis splendens has been bred by a few people. I don't know if this may go someway to help in your identification but young Brochis splendens have a sail-like dorsal fin, which diminishes as the fry grow.

HI Goldcook sorry, my english isn't good... so I cannot explain too much about how and where my friend got this fish I'm English and my english ain't terrific either. Can you try please. :thumbup: Also (@ everyone); Looking at the photographs of this really nice specimen, that the pectoral and dorsa...

HI All, I hope none you will not take any offence as none is intended. But; as anyone who knows me well, will agree that as a committee member of the http://www.catfishstudygroup.org I always put them first, after all I am also a participant in the CSG breeders award programme. So I will be waiting ...

Hi all. I have tried spawning my pair of Microsynodontis on two occasions now, the first time I got eggs but in my haste I disturbed everything and the eegs were soon consumed. 10 days ago I tried again and I thought that they had spawned, only this time I left the tank well alone. I went away for a...
