I believe this is C. napoensis. Sorry... :( . I'm going off the very high contrast between the gold and black. The shade of gold doesn't quite match either. Here's mine. There's a C. napoensis right behind him!

EDIT: actually after looking at your picture again, compared to mine, I don't think ...

Hi,
Sorry to hear about your cory. Are you sure it's a disease and not the other fish picking on him every now and then? A treatment course of Melafix and Pimafix should fix his fins up nicely. Make sure you do a 25-30% water change when you're done treating him because Melafix and Pimafix tend to ...

So, these were juveniles? And the juvies look different from the adults? Understood.
Ok. Thanx Jools!
Josh

Hi all.
We got these cories in last week and I would appreciate an ID. My manager and I always order "oddball" cories from the fish order sheet at work because the people working at the distributor dont know anything about Corydoras (or any loricariids for that matter). We ordered C.agassizii and ...

Yup definitely Ancistrus sp.(3) and it is albino. I've kept these guys and have found them to be interesting indeed. Looks to be a juvenile male to me.
Enjoy him!
Josh

As far as I can remember, there are no commonly imported Nannostomus sp. from the llanos. I could be wrong though. I think that you may have to compromise on the schooling charcins, if you do want them. I think your best bet for being close to authenticity is Cardinals. They're cheap, easy to get ...

IMO either Panaque L204 or Hypancistrus sp. I'm leaning more towards Hypancistrus, I can't tell though.
Good luck
Josh

The only way I can think of for identifying a particular range such as Los Llanos Lagunas is to google each partcular species along with the word llanos or something. Short answer is its gonna take a LOT of time. Instead of being so constrained by the llanos, why not make a little room for error by ...

Hi.
I found this site while looking for llanos fish species. I know that this is a list of fish from the Orinoco (Venezuela), not the llanos, but i think you may be able to find some species that suit you since the llanos is part of the Orinoco. Most of these species aren't suited to your 20L and ...

LOVE the My Aquaria feature Jools!! Keep up the good work
Josh

Hello Kostas,
If I remember correctly, Melafix and Pimafix lower the amount of dissolved oxygen available for the fish to use even with a bubble stone or two in the aquarium. Your best bet is to do a water change (largest possible... 33-50%??) and halt further use of those products until you see ...

No ideas from ANYBODY?!?!?!

just 1 more pic...

And I was also wondering about these guys. I was told that these 4 cories were C. leucomelas, but I think I see two different species. Any idea on correct Identification and sex would be appreciated
Thanx
Josh

Hello
I just purchased these two cories today and was wondering if I identified them correctly. I believe one is C. leucomelas and the other C. delphax, but would like a second oppinion.
Thanx
Josh

I think you are right Birger!!!! Thank you so very much! Now I wish I had picked up more.
Josh

I find that black worms that are missed by my fish do the same thing in regular aquarium gravel. I never thought that they were acting as scavengers cleaning my tank and I didn't know that they were reproducing! Thanx for the post Larry. I will leave them in there from now on.
Josh

Hi all,
I bought this little fella about 8 months ago under the name Vampire Pleco L007. I didn't know very much then and accepted that it was L007. But recently it has been coming out more often (she always hid in a nook in a piece of wood) and just last night I got a good look at her. I believe ...

Welcome to Planet Catfish.
It looks like a "Leopard Frog Pleco", Peckoltia sp.(L134) to me.
Good luck,
Josh

Where abouts on the east coast are you? If you are near me I know some places...

Looks like one to me.
Josh

Hello. Yes different species of Corydoras will school together quite happily. But sometimes it seems like they know that the others are not lke them and they DO prefer to school with their own species. In my 55 gallon, I have 2 C. aeneus, 2 C. trilineatus, 2 C. brevirostris, 1 C. nanus, 1 C. elegans ...

I'm all for Panaque maccus. It looks like mine when they were youngsters. And as for the lyretail I believe all of my P. maccus have lyretails... and I'm 100% on my identification of the ones I own.
Good luck macantley.
Josh

Hello and welcome to Planet Catfish.
I've seen this kind of thing too, but on 2 different plecos and a killifish. I believe this either occurs because of lack of dissolved oxygen or because of high nitrates (in the case of my killifish), but I cannot be sure. It could also be from starvation, which ...

Hey Shane. That's awesome that you had an Ancistrus that would go into your filter. I currently have one that does the same thing. I'll see him one day and then he'll be gone for weeks on end. Finally I either have to pull him out of the filter or he'll leave on his own. I find it amazing that it's ...

Happy to hear that they are doing better. Please do keep us updated.
Josh

I have one Fundulopanchax gardneri killifish that keeps going belly up (I have a trio and it's always the same female). Every time this happens I'm always close by, so I can bring her back. I usually stick her into another tank till she comes to. Maybe you should get your cory out of that tank. Put ...

Whats the temperature? Do you have aeration? The fact that it's only that one cory may account that it wasn't at full health and that maybe ammonia or nitrites in the tank may be killing an already unhealthy fish. Just a possibility. I've found that if I have a fish thats "belly up" but still alive ...

Right... It was 1:30 in the morning... I was tired... HAHAHAHAH!!! Thank you Racoll.
Josh

Okay, so I'm not insane!! :D Thank you for the ID. The dental arrangement looked similar to my P. nigrolineatus, but the teeth seemed so tiny that I couldn't tell if they were indeed "spoon-shaped".
Thanx again. I'm relieved to know what they are. Now to replecate the environment... ;-) .
