Hi, I have trilineatus. Has anyone had good luck using the mop? Also,my male eats the eggs the minute the female lays them and since she has been laying only a single egg at a time, it's been easy for him. Even if I put them in a separate tank from the rest of my aquarium inhabitants (angels, z ...

Thank you Ian and thanks everyone. I'll make sure to transfer the male too. I was able to sneak a few eggs out yesterday. I cut 2 artificial plants to get each of the individual eggs she was laying. (cutting plastic underwater is amusing) and I got about 3 from the glass. I put them in a net breeder ...

Ian, one last quick ?. As many times as the female goes back to the male to have the eggs fertilized makes me wonder. Do I have to move the male into the 10gal with the female or once I see the "T" position, can I move her in there by herself. Does she need the male to continuously fertilize each ...

That is so True Ian. Julii is much easier to say. I can understand that. So I just need to keep a keen eye on the when they're doing the "T" position. Since that has taken place at times when the lights are on, she is probably laying the eggs in my well planted tank, and they're being eaten before I ...

Just can't go wrong with any kind of cory huh? They're just cute little buggars

To me there's not a huge difference, they are both spotty, just one not as much, but they still do what cories do so I love them. But I am definitely going to start looking and maybe mention something to the shop owners. If they pay more for "Julii" and are getting tri's they should put their foot ...

I haven't seen any "T"ing going on today but I've been paying closer attention even with the lights off. I have to really watch my light time or I get white fuzzy algae on my wood. It's gotten better though since I added live plants.
Has anyone had success with the spawning mops?

Mchambers, Thanks. I just assumed it took a while so I never paid attention before. I'll need to really watch next time the "T" up. It's really exciting. :) And we have 2 nice LFS's and they both list them as Julii. One store has been around doing strictly fish for probably 35 years. I'll have to ...

I did some searching on PlanetC and compared pics of each after I posted and it does appear I was sold Tri's instead of Julii's. Why do they do that? They are both beautiful cories? Anyway, I guess I'll keep an eye before the light goes on and see what I can see. I have several others who would love ...

Hi, I have Julii's(supposedly). 3 females and 2 males. Is there a specific time of day they prefer to lay their eggs? I have the lights set on a timer so I don't really get to see what goes on in the tank from morning until about 2pm. And I've seen them doing the classic "T" position. But haven't ...

Ok, I use the link and head that way.
Thanks everyone for being so patient.

I must be the most ignorant person in the world. I can't see the message. I went to the message page and it says I have a message but there isn't a message. There is a drop down menu that says something about "export this view" but there isn't a message.

Your L333's are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I like the spots but I like stripes too. Probably as much!!!!!!!! I'm still trying to figure out the site so I'll check out the selling page. I think you said your L333's are $25 ea and must be in a group of 6? So $150 and then what's the additional charge for shipping ...

Thank you to you both. :-BD I am watching some Orinoco's right now on a bid site. I have lots of hide spots and just added 2 coconut caves yesterday to add to the hide spots for everyone. I tied some Java Ferns to the coconuts so the roots can gro to them eventually. Looks funny with kite string ...

Hi everyone!!! This is my first "topic" post. :) I have a Royal Pleco and a Clown Pleco in my 65g. I never get to see either one. Bums me out. Anyone have any suggestions about a pleco that is comfortable being out so I'll get to enjoy him some? And if there is one that is black with white or gold ...
