Greetings. Have just had my second spawn of C. amapaensis and my first ever of C. semiaquilis. The semis just hatched, so, no pics, yet - but here is one of C. amapaensis. - Frank

Great job Frank. The long nose fish are really tough.

Nicely done, again, Frank! Is the Corydoras amapaensis the first Corydoras spp. you've bred with the third rictal barbel?

Hi Amanda. TYVM. :D I have also cracked C. simulatus. I believe that is the only other, but I must admit, I don't remember every fish with the trait. lol. - Frank

Thanks, Julie. Nice to hear from you. I have called you twice, recently, including today. Spoke to a young girl. You were "indisposed." My phone takes incoming calls, too. :-) Frank

OK, I know you are in the boonies, but there is a new technology you need to be aware of. It works like this. You are able to take fish that are bagged - and if you place them in a box, with a label, this outfit called UPS will actually come to your place, pick up the box and deliver it to the exact address on the label. You should try this, lest ye be accused of being a luddite.

Don't you just love technology. I've also heard rumors of something called a "flush toilet," invented by a guy named John Crapper. Whodathunkit??? :razz: - Frank

Hmmm fish in bags.... I think most people must use water from a toilet... since it's usually blue in the bag... must keep the fish clean, eh?? :mrgreen:
