Re: Breeding sturisoma

I hear what your saying, I have 31 tanks but moving the cories was to put them in a bigger tank for breeding. I already have 29 albino cories and don't know why I keep breeding for more, but I put them in a 4 foot 33 long so they have plenty of room now just getting enough plants in there is a job ...

Re: Breeding sturisoma

What is the easiest way to catch these babies to move to another tank? I think that 3 hatches in a 25 long tank is getting a little over crowded. I have 3 empty 15 longs that I would like to move some to.

Re: Breeding sturisoma

Anyway, I moved the adults to a 25 gal long tank and now have 3 seperate hatches in there. the oldest being about 4 months old. I have found ...

Re: Hydra in tank

I had gotten hydra in one of my shrimp tanks once. I put a couple of large mystery snails in there and they got rid of them. Took about a week for them to get all of them.

Re: Has anyone ever had any of these in with their cories?

With the red claw shrimp they will also eat small fish that they can catch. Which usually happens at night. It wouldn't surprise me if they try to catch the pandas. I have seen a picture of one eating a tiger barb.

Re: Water parasites in L046 tank

I got a lot of hydra in one of my shrimp tanks and the way that I got rid of them was simple. I put in a couple of my mystery snails and within a week, no hydra.

Re: Breeding sturisoma

Thanks for all that info. I am glad that I already have my fish all in species tanks. Haven't set up a display tank yet. That way I don't have to move fry or adults around to much and stress them out. I am hoping to learn to breed these and keep them alive as they are an exceptional fish to own. I ...

I have spirulina sticks, will have to pick up some of the others today when I go to the lfs to pick up some frozen foods for my other fish. Will also pick up a small power head to put ...
