Hello From South Dakota

[irishman710]

Hello, After working with African Cichlids of all types for the last several years I have dove back into keeping catfish. I am mostly into the Cory types and have been keeping a few different species. I currently have 2 different groups which are spawning with little to no work on my part but would like to get into some of the others as well. There sure are a lot more varieties of catfish available now than there was 20 years ago. Anyway I look forward to learning some information and from everyone here. I have been raising a lot of the different BN plecos for a long time and some Banjo cats as well. Looking to change things up a little though. Being in South Dakota can make it difficult to have others close by me that are interested in the same fish. Thanks!

Thanks I appreciate it! Got some more new cories today.

Please note, the "varieties" of cories you now find are different and newly found species, save a couple long fins and albinos. They are not varieties of the same species as with all the different lines of common bristlenoses plecos. Have fun, cories can be addictive!

Understood and thanks, just poor wording on my part but I appreciate the clarification. I figure if they spawn I must be doing something right.... So that's my goal. I feed a lot of live foods that I raise on my own. It always seemed to work with my cichlids, that and lots of water changes.
