Pier aquatics over here in England have some Lacerdai,Kronei,Prionotus and Barbatus instock not long ago.I was tempted to buy the Kronei(very nice fish)and the Lacerdai(even nicer fish),but have to give it a miss as they were quite expensive.

Thanks for the mosquito larvae tip.
Do you keep most of your corys together? I took a look at your profile to try to see how you have them split up but you only have one tank listed. Could we see a picture of your whole cory tank(s) sometime? It's very inspirational to see such healthy and beautiful corys! I love the gold laser picture.

I've decided to separate one of my community tanks and I'd like to have the corys in their own realm. Your pictures make me realize I need more of them...
Keep the tour going :-BD

Birger, amazing looking fish :d
Just wondering what temperature you keep the tanks on? I noticed you had Lnos and Cories in together, I've always avoided this because I thought the temps they both require were incompatible...how does it work for you?

I have 18 tanks running now, ranging from 20L to 240L. Used to have more, but had to cut down due to my health.
Some of the Cory's I keep together, but most are species only tank.

Most of my tanks are about 24-26C in cory tanks. If i keep L and C cats together, it is mostly temporally.
There is quite a few corys that can handle temp like 28-29C

Birger

You have great looking fish !!
I too am a firm believer in keeping any fish that I wish to spawn in a spices only tank. I keep other fish in the tank, but none of the same spices. That is if I am wanting to spawn cory's then no other cory's it the tank.

Best
