the 2nd from bottom is female C. elegans as well? Totally different pattern ..?

OOPS. Posted this in the wrong thread to start.. Just a few Cories I have.. would like to know what they are..out of curiousity: The two up front ..got all of these from a tank of C.Elegans at LFS(well the one in background,too,but have better pix of it) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477 ...

I see it again..in either tank..I will remove it..
but as is, there are 13 in the big tank..and I haven't seen them doing it lately..
and 5 in the 20 gal..and haven't seen it doing it since..

how funny..that and the sensoring of plecos.
lmao

Cory is fine now.

why does it censor C i c h l i d s?

with other types of fish..among them African Butterfly Fish and Bristlenose plecos..and not had it happen. I'd think Cichlids would be too aggressive to allow it.. My ottos, as well as the rest of my fish , get the following(and there are various types of algae growing in both tanks) Frozen: Cichlid ...

haven't seen it doing it anymore..I'll just keep watching

In a 125 gal planted tank..did a quick test of water levels are ok. I just got 5 of these guys Fri..they are about 3" long. The side of the tank with Plants (the other side is just gravel and holey rock) has deep substrate in some areas..but does have a bubble disk in the middle. When I was first re ...

and I was afraid the otos might linger near the surface too long and become dinner..
poor ABF female..
little things are like leeches

I too, have Otos..NOT CAEs..that will and do suck the slime off of other fish.. and even see to really target a large pearl gourami that has a small wound .. There is algae in the tank..plants..and wood..and they are well fed.. but I have been out of algae tabs for a while. Although they did this ...

Ok , not attack..but they attempt to suck slime off of other fish at times..which hasn't been a prob because the fish move. But I have a Pearl Gourami that I'm watching because it seems to have scratched itself on something (maybe got stuck in rock or wood?)... and last night I noticed an Oto trying ...

the 13 are in my 125 gal. I just have 5 in my 20 gal.

This Megamart doesn't even carry Otos..and my LFS is very nice..and only charges $1.99 for them.. I got some other otos, too , right about the same time..13..for my big tank. They've done great.. I occasionally give a disk..more often I feed frozen omnivore that has some algae in it. There is still ...

forgot to ad,
with what's in there now.. I'm at a total of 168.4" aprox..

I have a 6 ft/125 gal half planted tank (other half is dark with rock formations).. So far one double bio wheel filter.. eventually going to get a second filter or cannister.. This is how it is stocked now: 7 Pearl Gouarmis (4.7" ..about 3" now) 5 Glass Catfish (3.2", almost full grown now) 13 Otos ...

in Central Tx is charging $4.49 for em..they just got a dozen in.. not that hard to get but they don't always have them on availability lists..

I have 5 Ottos left in my 20 gal (lost a few initially either to fin rot of the tail, OR the skunk botias, who were given away). This is a well established 20 gal with lotsa algae, and they are well fed (brine shrimp/frozen omnivore/bloodworms/sinking pellets/flake). All otos look great except one ...

if they won't get too defense with babies?
If I do though...I'm holding out for an albino..

I'm surprised this is the first time. My bigger plecos I've had started doing it as soon as they were large enough..Or rather, they did it some when smaller..but once they are about 8"-10" they can really move things and make a mess.

Just wondering what's best.. I have a 6 ft community tank, half planted for now (with driftwood and fine living substrate), the other size is larger round gravel and pieces of holey rock (and kept dark). Other inhabitants are Pearl Gouramis, Zebra Loaches, Spotted Hillstream Loaches, C. Trilineatus ...

I have a 125 gal very peaceful community (planted) with 9 C. Trilineatus (among other fish) and started with 3 C. Elegans (that was all LFS had), a male and 2 females..now they have a tankfull that's been there for a few weeks..but I waited too long..and all I THINK they have are females. SO I got 3 ...

not great..this is the hardest thing I've ever tried to photograph. The opacity didn't come through..it came through less clear than it actually was. These were taken last night..it's not this big today. http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/auction/Aug/20048168082226791842887.jpg http://mediaservice ...

It stuck out about 1/8 of an inch..when the cory was facing me.
It's not as big today. Still trying to get a decent pic..

I noticed today 2 of my Cories (C. Trileanatus) had a perfectly round, looks like an egg..clear..thing..just outside of their gill cover on the left side. I say two.. I think there were two like this..but I have 9 total, plus 3 C. Elegans, so it's kinda hard at feeding time to count.. At first I ...
