Hi all. Another update: I noticed yesterday little things sticking sort of off the sides of two of the Cory's mouths. Today they are a bit longer and it looks to me like their barbels are growing back, which is great! Hopefully the third little guy will grow his back too.

Hi Larry. I found the post by mmorris on Bidka about new import restrictions on flubendazole in the US. Maybe the "help desk" doesn't know what its talking about unless these restrictions are very new???? (Or the poster misunderstood, which is entirely possible).

It appears that flubendazole is ...

I always hate running into fish in the store that are sick or being mis-treated. It's so hard not to take them all home to rescue. I've tried, but they never seem to really recover. :(

From my good LFS though, I actually did have a little albino cory that seemed to do fine with having almost no ...

Hi,
I find that all cory's that lose their barbels on sharp gravel die because they use them for breeding,also searching for food on the bottom of the of the tank, in the sand and without them they cannot sift the sand.No one should get cories with out barbels,as far as the red lips is concerned ...

Just a little update on these Corys. Before moving them into another tank I decided to give it a bit of time and lots of water changes. From what I can see now, the redness is almost gone from their lips, they are still active and eating well. Most times there's not much that nice clean water won't ...

Larry, I've just purchased Levamisole for worming as well and your post gave me some info that I was looking for, mainly how safe it was to use with my BNs or my Corys in the tank. Been wondering if I should remove those guys or not, but I will follow your post as to its use and observe. As to my ...

Hello Larry - I recognize you from Bidka and from SD I believe as well!

I too have had success with issues like this using Ultra Cure PX. I actually have a Discus that will eat the drops. I've also used Parasite Clear a few years ago for flukes and am currently treating the tank with it now for ...

I have two BNs in my Discus tank which is currently being treated with Parasite Clear. I've used Parasite Clear on that tank a few years ago as well for a mild gill fluke problem. The BNs were fine then and are fine now and have not exhibited any signs of stress/discomfort whatsoever. My Julii cory ...

Thanks for your replies! My friend is going to buy some of these guys.

Hi. My LFS has this little BN. First, what is the common name? I've seen it called Calico BN and Common BN, but I've also seen a sort of drab brown/black called Common BN. Given the spots, Calico doesn't seem right to me, but he certainly doesn't look "common" to me! My calico cat (feline variety ...

Thanks Richard. I'm going to set up a 10 gal. QT tank for the 2 corys alone and will treat them. They are active and eating well though, so that's a plus. Yes, all of those in QT will be in QT for at least 4 weeks. Nothing goes in my Discus tank before at least 4 weeks of QT minimum, usually its 6 ...

Also, will the barbels grow back?

I remembered the site where I saw this little orange beauty. Its - http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_pages/scavengers/scavengers.htm#catfish

Is this the same as yours, coryologist? What temps can these little guys ...

Has anyone heard of a Neon Orange Cory? I saw it for sale on some website and they stated that this goldfish orange colored Cory was its natural color. Hmmmm... beautiful little Cory, but I could not find another mention of one anywhere.

Hello. I've just joined and have a quick question about my newly purchased C. Schwartzi. They are in QT now where they have been for 5 days. When QT is finished, they will be placed in my Discus tank along with the other Corys in there.

a) Temperature range 80
b) pH. 7.6
c) GH ...
