Re: L201- Colombian Snowball

Right they are here and alive. The only tank I have to place them is the 55g and is full of little tiny tetras. I read it should not be a problem, a catfish is a catfish and might eat some. Those $30.00 are what I calculated it must cost each to the store, but they are asking $70.00. These would be ...

Re: L201- Colombian Snowball

First, I just notice I posted this on the wrong place, my bad. Thanks for the information. Is good! After posting this I found an online store that sells them for $20.00, tank bred. The store must buy fish by lots, so shipping should not be too much. plus tax. I calculate is at 20 is $30.00 per fish ...

L201- Colombian Snowball

Hi, I just got home from my friendly neighborhood fish store and they had the Colombian snowball pleco. 2 inches for $70.00. Taking account that I live in puerto rico and the taxes. Is that a good price? Also how long they grow. Some sites say it reaches 6.5 inches and others 4.5. This matters for ...

Corydoras Velezonala

Hi,

I just got 7 beautiful of what I was told is C. Velezonala. But they look like C. Aeneus with extended brown coloring. I have seen photos but they are orange. Are they C. Velezonala?

Thanks!

I consider this a catastrophe. The thought of loosing so many fish at the same time terrifies. I'm sorry for your loss.

Corydoras Feeding

Hi,

I just wanted to share a feeding of my C. Aeneus and B. Splendens. I love how they become so alive at the sight and smell of food. I hope you enjoy it as much I do.

Re: What is actually causing the mass death of Corydoras fry during the first few weeks of life?

Just add my two cents. I have kept corys for just two years and they have only spawned last year for two and a half constantly. I had more fry's that I had imagine. Literally hundreds of fry's I had to setup two extra tanks to keep them. Same as you didn't last more that 3 weeks, I was frustrated ...

Not a Catfish but may live with them

Hi, I was watching a video last week and they showed some Sewellia Lienolata or Hillstream Loaches. My wife fell in love and want some. The question is this: Can I have it with my corys? I think they can it just depends of the cory species. Right?

Thanks!

Have you moved since last pawn, if not, is there a new treatment station or maybe they have changed the processes at the treatment station? So the parameter are all out of whack. Also is this the first spawn for this specific group of corys or have they reproduced before? I think it could be that in ...
