Synodontis granulosus or hybrid ?

Hello, I have the opportunity to recover some synodontis granulosus. With the hybrids that are hanging around on the market I prefer to be wary. I know that they come from "Bauman" in Germany. I only have one photo for the moment, I am waiting for others. What do you think? Hybrid or pure strain? <a ...

Re: Corydoras sick: how to end it ?

Hello, thank you for your answers. So I will separate the fish that seem healthy to me. For those with symptoms, can I put them all in a hospital tank? Or do I still have to separate them according to the original tank? If the treatment is available in Europe, I should be able to get it. Thank you ...

Corydoras sick: how to end it ?

Hello, I am currently suffering from the damage of a disease, which I think, arrived during the introduction of several corydoras to which I did not quarantine (and which were the first to have the symptoms) more than a year ago. Today, I have 3 affected tanks, each time it is the corydoras (the ...

Re: corydoras habrosus sick

I haven't had any other deaths since the last post. I will still do the second part of the treatment because it must be repeated 2 weeks later for the nematodes.

Otherwise I have a wholesaler near me who offers acclimatized fish (so not just in transit), would this be a good solution? On the other hand, he told me that it was ...

Hello, I really need your help to identify this little guy. I can't find congeners for it if I don't know what species it belongs to.
If there are any distinctive signs that do not appear in the photos, do not hesitate to ask me.

Corydoras duplicareus ? And agressive behavior

Good morning, when I went to the pet store I saw that they had C. adolfoi. Already having a duplicareus, I immediately noticed that one of the 3 in the pet store was not an adolfoi but I have my doubts about the other two. Here are the photos of the pectoral spines of the 3 specimens purchased. The ...
