Hi Catfish enthusiasts,

I'm adopting a club member's remaining Corydora this weekend and I'd love help IDing this one so I can assemble a school and the optimal tank conditions. For now, this is the one good picture I have. Thanks much!

Thanks for the question. Usually I do 25-30% water change weekly unless I notice any concerns when I check the water chemistry.

Hi folks,
I'm wondering how many corys I can comfortably keep in my 20g and 29gal tanks as I try to balance larger numbers as they seem really happy together with what's too many for a novice fishkeeper like myself to manage. Both tanks have multiple sponge filters as well as aquatic plants and ...

Hi folks,

UPDATE: Hi everyone,

Thanks! I'll give it a day or so and do another photo shoot. The cory is brightening up already.

Hi everyone,
I got a lone cory at my club's fish swap and I'm keen to identify this new one so I can get them a school of their own. I'm a novice to corys and this isn't one I recognize (I presently have schools of sterbai, aeneus, and paleatus). One club member suggested this one might be a ...
