Hi everyone, Pls help me choose of the two fishes, Corydoras Aeneus or Brochis Splendens, as I have never had either. I have only had Cory Paleatus and Aspidoras Albater. Tank is 75 Gallon, planted, with sand substrate, not heated, kept at room temp, usually 23 C is the room temp. I currently have 3 ...

Correct, looking for a 5" or smaller (12"+ is too big) to I can keep in my 75gallon tank along with my BN pleco. My tank doesnt have a heater though, and room temp is around 23C.

Hi Ian,

Wow, what temps were you keeping each type? What is your secret?

Hi, just wandering which commonly found pleco type, that stays at 5" or smaller, have you kept the longest, for how long about, and what water temp did you keep it at.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Just wandering which type of Cory you keep the longest, and for how long about, and at what temp.

Thanks

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. Just to ask, my water ph would be in the 7.8 range, as that is what are tap water is like. Would this still work out?

thanks for the responses. Basically, I was wandering if they were a fun fish to have, or would they be hiding most of the time, never being able to see them, in a 10g planted tank. My Aspidoras Albater (similar to Habrossus) hide a lot, but do come out a lot too, and I have a few babies in the same ...

Hi everyone, So I have a planted 10g tank right now with only snails and rcs, and I am thinking of a dwarf corydoras. I was thinking about 9 to 12 of them, as I hear a few might die when you first get them. Are the Hastatus easy to keep? Do they school even after a few weeks when you first get them ...

Don, thanks for sharing, i had the fear of that. Unfortunately, my wife wont allow live worms, so i cant give them what my fish really want, and it is a shame. But i can give them the frozen ones, so its less bad ;). So I could give them the brine shrimps and krill on the off days. About the Ripashi ...

Thanks guys, I do also have Earthworm Pellets, Spirulina Pellets, and Veggie Pellets, which i only give to my spidoras. However, I want to stear away sort of from dried food, and concentrate on gel food / frozen food. I guess my worry was giving them TOO MUCH protein... thus i had hesitations ...

Hi everyone, I have some Corydoras Paleatus and some Aspidoras Albaters, all adults or adolescent at least. I have bought some frozen blackworms and some mini bloodworms cubes. How many times per week should i feed them this food. They also get a home made gel food i make with veggies as the other ...

Thanks everyone, i have thus decided to get 3 - 6 more of the same type of corydoras, instead of having 6 of two kinds of corydoras.

thanks for the response. I am getting the feeling that only the Cory Hastatus may try to "school".

You have very beatifull looking corydoras type fish, i really like the look.

Do you think it would look nicer to get another 4 - 6 same type corydoras i have, or 6 of another type?

Hi, I have a 75 gallon tank well planted with playsand substrate. I have 6 Corydoras Paleatus, 8 White Cloud Mountain Minnows, 1 SAE, 1 BN Pleco, and another type of fish i forgot the name. Note, the fish seem happy, they even ignore my hand (ie not scared of me) when i do tank maintenance or change ...

[Fish keeping is generally dead easy, but a lot can go wrong. By sticking to a few basics, you can make life much easier and less stressful for yourself. Here's a few things I'd recommend you do to avoid some of the rookie mistakes a lot of people make. Also have a read of this article on the ...

thanks,

moderator, pls delete my post.

Hi All,

I was looking for a list of Corydoras (or aspidoras) that are "nice / peacefull" and above 3" (75mm), and bellow 5" (125mm) if possible. I want to put a few in my 75 gallon tank, but dont want my larger fish 6" - 8" to eat them.

Thanks in advance
