no need for another update , the fry turn out to be C.Trilineatus . You did a good job raising them , now let's hope they find a good home !

good job with the update Eric !

Yannick i don't try to raise large numbers, and C.Panda have eggs with >98% hatching rate so i'm happy with what i get left from them.

- i've used 2-3 spawing mops but still found egss eaten in the mops , i've seen that keeping the fish very well feeded (especialy with live tubi) will reduce the ...

Pablo , 10-15 eggs usually also, depends on some factors like age of fish , food they get , how many fish in the tank , my C.Panda group, ( witch i keep alone as all the cory i try to bread) , are terrible egg eaters , the fish that don't participate in the spawning , are busy munching on them ...

it's to complex to predict when they will spawn again , (factors like : food , age , water change , atm pressure, etc), you can try to trigger them or let them do their thing.
for easier eggs colection you can use a spawing mop . i use some anubias floating plants ,and my Corydoras Panda like to ...

-pressure formula = height of water column [m] x water density (mass) [kg/m^3] = X kg/m^2
-there are online convertors to transform pressure kg/m^2 to psi , atm , MPa .
-so you can start from the total height of water column and find out the needed pressure or from the known pressure the pump can ...

thanx for the tip Larry ! i do something like this with my backup mikroworm culture. keep them in a small plastic box for 1-2 months .

care to share more details? you put the brine shrimp nauplii in the fridge for a while before you feed them?

has anybody used microfex worms for corydoras fry ? i'm looking for a complementary food among microworms . i only have a few C.Similis fry and newly hatch artemia nauply would be to complicated to provide them everyday.

The group have spawn a few times in small numbers of eggs ,across january . i haven't collected the eggs . after a few wees with frozen bloodworms in their diet , a bigger spawing took place late february , i've colected only ~ 50 eggs that were on the leafs of some floating anubias plants ...

.... great fish indeed , they are some preaty nice looking corys ! i was lucky to purchase them back in the winter of 2010 .

thanks for the info Val , i've seen on my juvies that once they start to eat well , along with good water chemistry...they have a really good growth rhythm .
can u share ...

the juvies sharing the breakfast

wellcome to planetcatfish.

from the pictures with Corydoras Panda i would definitely say it's an external parasite ! you should try to identify what type of parasite so you can chose the proper medicamentation. JBL has Gyrodol Plus and Aradol Plus for external parasite infections. i would also try ...

some photos from this week . i have juvies from two spawns , one group have 4 months and the other 3 months old. from the last batch i have two that had a very slow grow rate .

since last time i post in 2012, i haven't got any luck/time with the fry from my Corydoras Similis small colony. I only managed to raise to maturity 3 of the fry from that spawn.
this autum i decided to make some time and try to raise some Corydoras Similis fry . After a 4-6 weeks of heavy feeding ...

a small update.

it took me 3 spawing to learn how to raise the fry past the 4 weeks barrier .
in my case they where more dificult to raise compared with the C.Panda fry.
what i finde out by trial and error is that an "hands off aproach " works better .
the water changes where made trough a small ...

hy Vlacek ,

u've breed them before me, i remember reading yours and others users posts about them . i've learn alot from all the people here that posted they're experience on breeding and husbandry of coryodras ^:)^ . Fish tend to act diferent from tank to tank from what i learn in the short time ...

Hi Darren ,

congrats for the spawing . i'be been keeping/breeding a small group of C.Panda in a colony tank for an year now . they usualy spawn every 2-3 months, the usual triggers works on them : a cooler water change , a drop in air pressure, lots of blood worms in they're diet . They are also ...

"Canon L " lens .. those are some high end - high price lens .
thanx for the answer , so the bottom line is practice and patience

Hat's off for you Frank , for patiance and perseverence in breeding this species.
care to share some info on you're photo technique? u're photo's allways amazes me , the amount of sharpness and detail .

Congrats for spawing and rearing of the fry . are on my sought list for some while . unfortunely they are not available here , maybe in the future.

today i was trying to make some close ups on my C.Panda's tank and notice some white zones at the base of the dorsal fin on some of my corys . one of them has the white patches also on the sides , with what looks like 2 small holes.
the fish i had for over an year , no new fish , no losses , in ...

Christiansen is the scandinav version of my name . When i first started keeping fish in 2009 and joined a Romanian forum, Cristian was allready taken as a username and tought i used other form of the word. On PC i end up for the ID's of some pleco's sold as Ancisturs :ymblushing: . When i realized ...

congrats for the spawn Frank .

my favorites are

congrats on the spawing . i would say after the color of the eggs that they should hatch any time soon :YMAPPLAUSE:
care to share some info about the parents , water and temperature values from when the spawing took place. maybe some info about the "triggers" used to get them in the mood for ...

last night i made a 30% WC on they're tank. this morning found another 14 eggs . this time they are layed in a more compact method . like they're learning how to do it .

thank you for the kinde words. they required something special for hatching and raising or the usual stuff works for them ?

PS ...

2 days a go i separated in a 30 liters tank 4 Cory Similis from my group of 11. Today , after i got back from the office i found them spawing . They made a short break for 2 hours , that is when i colected 10 eggs that where deposed all over the tank , on all 4 sides of the tank and 2 on the leaves ...
