These pics are alot better than the first ones I saw, but I m still curious

Thats pretty cool. what are the chances of that happening again ? Yes like neon said use a pic of your self as a back ground and see what happens

to add to the chlorine topic I was reading Jack Wattley's Beginner's guide to breeding discus or something like that :lol: and he said in small amounts he also knows of breeders that use chlorinated water in their tanks as in small amounts it doesn't harm the fish. So if discus can handle it I would ...

yup thats them thanks

My LFS has some cories that I have identified as C. leucomelas but they have them labeled as C. wotia or something like that and I have never heard of them and cant find them on Ian's site of on the Cat-elog under this name. Has anyone heard of this species ? I m curious as to where they came up ...

Agreed

yeah looks like you may be right coloration looks a little off to me

i just thought of something else loaches also do this with their eyes I have 3 creek loaches that do this as well as a orange tail botia that does this. I dont know i m confused about all this as its something that we may never know the true answer to. I guess everyones theory has some sort of ...

another thing to consider too is that plecs also do this. my clown and red and black both do this action as well as many others i have had in the past. I dont know what this is for other than instinct or social behavior its kinda like that whole tree falling in the woods thing i guess?!?

ok i see where your coming from but wouldnt you think the sand would scratch the fishes eyes ? I have cories that are not in sand that do this , are you saying you think they do instinctively ? I m not sayng your wrong and I m just asking your opinion on this. I dont actually know why they do it but ...

when it comes to cories Ian is about as close to a "trained biologist" for cories you are going to find. And the fact that they do roll their eyes in the reason I actually bought some I didnt like them when I first got into the hobby then my ex-gf's parents bought a tank ( after someone kept bugging ...

the body spotting looks exactly like the C. kanei but it has a little more pronouced spotting with a stripe at the base of the caudal fin made up from spotting not a solid stripe more like a denser amount of spots making it look like a solid line but i m leaning towards C.kanei

trust me if you have long fin paleatus you will know it.. mine have dorsal fins that are the length of their bodies and they are juv. the dorsal and bodies are about 1/2"-3/4" it is very obvious that it is a high or long fin variety.

Congrads !!! I need to get my hands on some of them really like the concolors just never see them for sale but i know there is some online here and there.

thanks and you should be getting an order from soon too I have emailed you a couple of times

Thanks Ian

it looks to be one of the 3 c. kanei c. leucomelas or c.melanistius
its hard to tell as it is still a juv. about 1/2 to 3/4 "

did you try the melifix ? did it work ? whats the update ?

I just bought some A. pouciradiatus and i believe i recieved a cory in the batch that looks like the top pic but has a black mask and black splotch on the dorsal as well i m still looking through the cat-eLog to find something like but there are few that look simular

Very nice pics great looking fish !

I was just wondering if someone can give me some info on shipping some corie fry for later reference as i plan on shipping some fry out when they are reach a couple months of age. I was wondering if the Kordon breather bags were able to be used or not because of the fishes spines ? I know they ...
