Hi I am disabled and have to get my partner to lug around buckets of water much to his annoyance. I have 4 tanks, 1 of which is 400l so, as you can imagine and probably know yourselves it's not easy. I have seen Python and Aqueon water changers online but most companies won't ship to England and if ...

Yes they are definitely the tenacious terriers of the fish world.

I have 4 Habrosus and absolutely adore them. They're really feisty and zoom around the tank with my 10 Agassizii and 6 Albino Bronze. I have had 1 spawning from them but it was infertile.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info.

I'm liking option 5!

I have just moved over from gravel to sand for my Corydoras tank and they are very happy fishies. However, how do I vacuum the sand without sucking it up? I always syphoned the gravel before but will loose half my sand if I do that now! Once again I apologise for my ignorance

Beauitiful tank and fantastic fish! I'm loving those Amblydoras

Thanks mats. Yes, the Tigers are the one piece of poor advice I've had from Maidenhead. I don't think its the fault of the Tigers though so feel I have a responsibility to them to not simply dump them because they're not right for my tank. Rather conflicted about it. Guildford and Windsor are a ...

Hey mats. I'm in Fareham, 'tween Portsmouth and Southampton. I know your neck of the woods a little as my brother lives there. What can that group of plec live with? Hi Sid. Great suggestions, thanks. Would Tiger Barbs be alright in that group instead of Tetras? I only ask because I have 9 Tigers in ...

I like rope fish, Loach, Puffers... not sure really As far as Catfish go I really like the look of vampire plecs and bristlenose catfish but because I haven't had a big enough tank I've only really paid attention to the smaller catfish like the Corys and the Bristlenose. (Obviously I couldn't have ...

I've just bought a second hand 5' 400l tank and it's a beaut! :d I have some ideas for stocking but wondered what suggestions you might have. I already have a 180l tank with Corydoras Aeneus and Corydoras agassizii . I also have a small 60l with Corydoras habrosus . So I'm covered on the Cory front ...

My absolute favourite is Corydoras robineae - Jools now has my group I used to own. -- Mats Ooooohhhhhh @-) I'm drooling! =P~ They're gorgeous. I love my new Corydoras Agassizii because they're so beautiful! I love my Albino Corydoras Aeneus because of their feisty personalities and my Corydoras ...

Thanks for that Mona O. It's good to know they did all grow back in the right conditions. It's also good to know what conditions to avoid! I really appreciate you going to the trouble of posting and I know my little guys will too

Hi Mink. No I'm not planning on breeding but thanks for flagging that up. I have a small group of Habrosus who I'm hoping to breed but not the Agassisii.

Well...I've been a very naughty girl! I've bought another 6 Agassisii and was given a 7th to make up for my one-eyed friend making a lovely group of 10! I have the room in my tank currently as everybody is still young and am planning on buying a new 200l tank at the end of the week! Hurrah!

Many thanks Mona o. Very useful info

Thanks everyone. He seems fine. He's the biggest of the three and the bravest so I'm not worried.

Thanks mats. Good to know.

He certainly seems to be. The weird thing is that the guy at the shop introduced me to one-eye, their resident peppered cory today to show me a fully grown Cory. Then I get home to find I have my very own one-eye!

When I recently bought a group of, what we've now decided are, Corydoras Habrosus the guy I bought from used dried banana leaves to condition the water. I know you can use Oak leaves and I've seen the article on here about using them. He didn't boil the banana leaves though, just put them in the ...

I've decided to stick with the albino and they do look good together

When at my local MA today to buy another 3 Albino Bronze Corys I stumbled accross some truly beautiful Loxonzonus and Agassizii. After much soul searching I decided to take home a small group of Agassizii. After a few hours of darkness I turned the light on and watched my new fish. The albinos are ...

Thanks mats. Will they cope without them? I'm hoping that if I keep them on their own they won't have to compete too much for food so won't be at a disadvantage. I'll have to just monitor them to make sure they are all finding food.

I will post an update in a couple of months.

Now that they are on a better substrate, will their barbles grow back?

My local Maidenhead Aquatics plus people on another forum and general web searches all said starve then try a pea as a 1st step before trying Epsom salts for constipation then anti bacterial treatment etc for an infection of the swim bladder. They did eat the pea actually and the swim bladder issue ...

I fed them peas because of the swim bladder problems - to break up any impaction/constipation. They do not form part of their normal diet.

Thanks Mats. Definitely does, doesn't it?

Thanks Mats. Much appreciated

Hi all I recently bought a group of 4 'breeding' Peppered Corys. When I arrived at the seller's home I was shocked to find the corys in the filthiest water I've ever seen, living on very sharp stones and only about 2cm length, maximum. They have very little barbles, some have none at all, I imagine ...

Hi I'm new to this forum but sure glad I've found it. :d I have 3 beautiful Albino Bronze Cory in my 180l community aquarium. I have absolutely fallen in love with there awesome little catfish. I want to increase the number to 6 as I know cories prefer bigger groups but here's my question... Will ...
