Re: Is it possible to ID this cory?

A better pic would be needed for a positive ID, but you can start comparing to Corydoras habrosus or Corydoras paleatus . The latter being pretty easy to spawn, so there's a good chance it's eggs were in the plants you picked up. The former is a dwarf species and could have been hiding in the ...

l134 + l201 + laser cories

Hi,

I am setting up a 4 ft tank.
Going to have several internal filters (2 x Fluval u4 + Eheim 2012)
Want to keep trio of l134 and l201 + some laser cories.
Is it possible to keep and breed them in this setup?

Thanks

Re: Why this cory died?

Sorry to hear that, and I'm unable to say why your fish died from the picture alone - it looks like you have also lost several other fish - is that a Bosemans rainbow?

First thing to check would be the ammonia and nitrite levels in the tank, I'd say.

Re: Do I have 1 males and 2 female Corydoras gossei

I have 50+ gossei about 4 months old, starting to look like they are big enough to be sold but of course it probably will be another 6 months until they will think about breeding.

The ventral fins on the Gossei make it fairly easy to distinguish gender, but at this age its difficult to be 100 ...

Are they L66?

I have 2 of them. They are 6.5 - 7 cm long (with a tail)
Bought them 11 months ago (3-4 cm long), so they are 1-1.5 years old.
Are they L66 and are they male and female?

Yes, they are fighting over the cave or when female trying to enter male's cave to lay eggs or when male defending territory/fry.

Re: Breeding Peru Green Stripe Corydoras

In my experience microworms make water worser.
BBS are fine for 2 days old greens.

But I've lost half of them, so may be I am wrong. :?

Re: Breeding Peru Green Stripe Corydoras

BBS 2 times a day + twice a day 50% water change with water from aquarium ( but I did not have any filter in this plastic box).
I've lost most of them because of overfeeding, so try to avoid it.

Re: Corydoras gossei

They are not breeding. :-(
I've placed them in separate tank, but soon I'll need it for fry.
Non of my corys are breeding, except sterbai. :-(
One laser green female, like exploding, but not laying eggs and spending time far from main group.
