Hi,
thank you Silurus,
but Jools identified them to be probably C. melanotaenia and said on the other hand that they looked like "normal black C." to him. So I interprete this answer in the way that it is quite common that there are black/red varieties in different kind of Corydoras???

Hi,
Jools, thank you for your very fast answer. However, I cannot find anything on black melanotaenia or any other black Corydoras on the net, even no picture. Yet it seems quite a normal thing to you?! :shock: So, I would be very grateful if you could go a little more into detail about black ...

Black Corys with red eyes?!

Hi,
someone in a German forum bought Corydoras which are black with red fins and deep red eyes. Nobody there seem to have a clue about them. Is here anybody who knows something about them? Which species this is (mutation? purposeful breeding?)?

There are some pictures. You have to click on "free ...

Hi!

Thank you for your´re comments. I basically already knew about the dangers of granulate, but you are right, I will be even more careful from now on and break it up before I feed it. Mostly I feed them frozen larvae, cyclops ect. and live food anyway.

Well, may I ask another question in this ...

Hi,

thank you Silurus and Medaka. I am quite relieved to hear that. So I think they are fine for the time being. Should I ever decide to set up a new tank for them I will nevertheless switch to sand substrate.

By the way, mine like discus granulate and smashed peas, too. However, I have yet to see ...

Hi Silurus,

well, you´re the expert - ok, so I don´t have to worry :D .

However, I would really very much appreciate it if you could go a little more into detail where there is the difference between their bartels and habit of feeding in contrast to Corydoras?

Hi Silurus,

thank you.

Well, I am just a little worried, not because they cannot hide in the substrate but because of the natural feeding habits they might have.

I momentarily keep them on small to larger gravel, but they have barbels like Corydoras, don´t they, and I can well imagine that they ...

Hello again,
so I finally worked out (with some help) how to show you photos of my haras (medaka asked for them). The photos show two of them, the third is a little bit smaller and not so "striped", more greyish. The fourth one I have not seen the last few days, I am afraid it did not make it ...

I'm setting up a rivertank the same in size as your Naias.
I think about put there some shrimps too. What exactly power got your powerheads? Mine will filtrate water in a tank 16x/h :] I worry a little about shrimps :). What species you keep? Other tankmates will be balitoridae family
and maybe ...

Hi,

thanks for all your answers!

@medaka
thank you for the link. It was interesting. Temperatures should not be the problem. The tank is unheated and the room is shadowy (does this word exist?) and doesn´t get too hot in summer...

But I have quite a lot of water movement (the tank has kind of a ...

"Barking" Hara Hara (moth catfish)

Hi everybody,

I really do hope there is an expert here who does not think I am crazy or so because it is really true:

I´ve had four little Hara Hara (moth catfish) for two weeks now (at least I bought them as Hara Hara, I just saw on the net that there are several similar species)

They are real ...
