Re: New Cory needs help

Thank you JoeO :)
I will try to get some pics of them,
I have found that the parents have become more recluse.
I hope they will get used to me and not hide so much.
My albinos are always around looking for food.
Is it true that the albinos dint see as well thats why they just hang around?

Re: New Cory needs help

I am very pleased to say that all three are doing so well that,
I found two Kits today :D
they are still in the quarantine tank.
I so happy that they are happy.
I didn't dream that they would try and breed in a 15 inch tank.
The adults are still very shy, the Kits are out and about all the time.

New Cory needs help

I have been given three small Bronze Corys, I noticed one of them has very reddish pink barbells on the left side. Could this little fish have an injury or infection?

Re: What kind of Tandan is this?

All the Dams on my parents home run into a lovely seasonal creek and I think the water way has enough problem with farm chemical run off and drought as it is. I dint plan to get rid of these guys for a long ...
