I rinse out my plastic hatch tubs then set them out in the sun for a day or so. Rarely do I have fungus issues

That looks a whole lot like the 4 corys I got from Mike Hellweg

They both look like hungry otos to me. Maybe drop them some Zucchini or spinach?

Look on Aquabid.com Lots of listings for dwarf cories

Received a couple different shipments of Corys in this last week, elegens types, tough to ID :-\ I took a few videos of the two different groups

group one there is 4 and they are sub-adults and all the same http://youtu.be/poTsBH0vxG8

The second group are wild caught and definitely different ...

By no means an expert (which is evident by my inability to identify species lol), but it looks like and L204 or "flash pleco"

I've also collected around 50 eggs that hatched about 10 days ago, fry are very active and there was a very high hatch and survive rate Great photos!

In my opinion, a 10 gallon is not to small for a BN pleco, we breed them in this size tank consistently and it sounds like shad0wfish13 knows how to do water changes and feed his algae eating friends efficiently. I think the addition of the hornwort or frogbit or both along with a nice BN would ...

I love Amazon Frogbit! Great floating plant, easy to remove if it gets out of hand, and great for lapping up the nutrients that algae thrive on, PLUS added bonus of light blocking for additional algae control, enjoys the slow current you refer to also. Good luck

Congrats!!

AHHHHH! I really need female Corydoras Green Laser........... and you're in the UK. Anybody know of some in the US? Have two lone males in need of a woman

Mine are eating well and schooling with another cory species in a 30" x 12" x 12" tank HMF filter at 78 f, eat just about anything I put in there, flake, pellets, tabimin, repashy, frozen brine. I'm treating them with Prazi Pro and did lose one right after arrival, it was very pale and listless, no ...

I swear I read an article where someone had a male BN for 27 years or something like that, he went through a couple mates and kept raising babies til the end...........I thought that was amazing

That's incredible Ian!

I did see they had some, but by the time I contacted them they were all gone Definitely keeping an eye out but thought I'd see if any hobbyist had a colony with a few available.

I'm setting up a new shrimp colony tank and would also like to set up a colony of C. Hastatus in the same tank. I live outside of Spokane Washington. Buy or trade, thanks for your time Val

Sounds great! Not all filters are the same but you'll be able to tell if it's not doing the job, you can always add another filter happy fish keeping

The amount of corys per tank all depends on your filtration capacity and cleaning regimen, IMO. I personally would add a couple more, I have 6 to 10 corys per 10G breeding tank. I just make sure I do my weekly water changes and have adequate filtration

You for sure don't want to rely on me identifying Corys..............but.......they sure look like the CW051 I have in my fish room right now. They came from Florida last week and were listed as Corydoras Bicolor.

Looks like Corydoras Trilineatus http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/spe ... ies_id=508

I personally have not had bn jump out of my tank, but use a glass cover as I often put killi fry in and they are renowned leapers! I have also found guppies to be a bit nippy to the young bn fry, the bn fry don't grow well when I've had guppies as tank mates. Just my personal experience.

I also use the tank as a grow out area on occasion for a variety of fish fry. The BN are easy and peaceful tankmates. Don't be afraid to utilize the top area of the tank with other peaceful fish.

I have found them to not be picky about temps, but I keep them at room temp in the fishroom around 75 f to 80 f. I see them all the time, the babies are always out and parents in their favorite nap spots or the male tending his cave.

I have a pair in a planted 20H with hmf filter run by two powerheads. They have a small colony going. I pull youngsters often for the LFS

Well I only managed to snatch up 4 eggs! As I wasn't expecting a spawn from this young group....... All 4 hatched off the leaf they were adhered to and all 4 are 90 days or so. I'm moving Don Petty's breeding group of similis to my fish room this next month so I'll get you some stats once they start ...

I raised my c. Similis in a cherry shrimp and snail tank where their growth almost matched c. Sp. Black fry of the same age. At 90 days they are about 3/4 the size of their parents. They grazed on the misc insuforia present then were fed varied Repashy foods along with Tetra Tabs and now some frozen ...

It sounds like parasites to me

Despite his efforts, he was a bit lost when they started to hatch. I haven't found one fry that made it. He seems dedicated ;) so maybe next time he'll have some survivors!

I was amazed at how busy this young father was tending his first batch of eggs. I apologize for the shaky video with tv in the background..........but alas my family enjoys tv while I enjoy keeping fish ;)

Well! It looks like the mystery cichlid is a Flowerhorn type and not female at all ;) Nice job Ewb46, can't wait to see how it looks in its new 55 gallon home. This fish tripled its size in months ...
