Sorry but do you expect them to be plant safe?

or do you expect them to eat plants?

Not sure which question you answered.

Pete

Does anyone have experience keeping L127 in a planted tank?
Will they damage plants?

Pete

I am have great luck with my Corydoras duplicareus and Corydoras weitzmani spawning every few days and laying batches of ~12 good eggs at a time. My "good" problem is running out of tanks to raise groups of fry seperately. How bad is it to raise fry of different ages ~1 week apart together in same ...

I think I already know the answer but I bought this as L15 but believe it is Panaqua Maccus?

Thanks CoryWally & Coryman, I forgot to mention that the fry were swimming up sides of container yesterday and this morning. I hope this is normal food searching behavior. I did put java moss in container (for food and water quality) and I also put a small drop of liquid fry food in last night ...

Coryman, Yes, I have read and re-read that thread several times and I am trying to follow the directions very closely (1 gal container in tank, twice a day 50% water changes with tank water, etc.) however; My Corydoras stenocephalus hatched in only ~1.5-2 days. “When the yoke sac has been used up t ...

Can someone please describe what is considered normal corydoras fry behavior the first few days after hatching? I am used to egglayer fish which stick to glass and do not swim much while using up yolk sak. My cory fry hatched sooner than "normal" and now I am wondering how soon I should be feeding ...

There are what appear to be either Corydoras ambiacus or Corydoras agassizii in a local fish store. Does anyone know if either/both of these fish have been spawned in captivity?

Pete

Thanks very much Norman

Is this the reference you used?

This shows whole body of first fish including caudal.



I think tail might have had longer tips at one point.

I got these two fish from two different sources. This one was mixed in with Farlowella vittata. http://www.plecofanatics.com/gallery/files/1/7/0/1/2/farowella003.jpg This one I just picked up at a club auction. http://www.plecofanatics.com/gallery/files/1/7/0/1/2/farowella002.jpg Both appear to have ...

After reading the adler cone thread I wondered if anyone has started to use Indian almond leaves in their corydoras tanks? If so do you feel you see any benefits? I know some people swear by them for other fish and there is some limited research showing they might have anti-bacterial properties. Pete

Well my group laid about 12 eggs. I put them in a container with an airstone and a few drops acriflavine. I believe about half were infertile so only six hatched. All six died within two days. Back to drawing board. I think I might have overdosed the acriflavine slightly but I did change some of the ...

:D Well cartouche et. al. I guess you were right! My C. Duplicareus are spawning right now! I fed lots of blackworms did two 50% within 4 four days and we had a large rainstorm the last few days. Now once they are done should I leave the eggs in with the parents or try to hatch them seperately? Pete

Yes cartouche I wonder why I have not had many spawns as well. I have only eight fish (four wild and four tank raised). The pair that spawned were tank raised and were seperated from the rest mostly because I was concerned nonbreeding fish would eat the eggs. I think I will now put them all together ...

I am having trouble triggering Corydoras duplicareus to spawn consistently. One of my pairs spawned twice for me but the eggs were infertile/fungused. The last spawn was over a month ago and I am not really sure what the trigger was maybe a rainstorm. I am feeding lots of blackworms and doing 50 ...

Thanks Ian I bought these fish after reading Derek Lambourne's book Corydoras catfish which says "C. reticulatus has been bred under aquarium conditions". There are no details but I thought would find them later. If I succeed I will definately have to post the details. My fish seem very "flighty" or ...

Does anyone have any experience spawning Corydoras reticulatus? Is there any spawning information written up, in any books?

Pete

Searching the forum and doing some textual changes to the links in various threads led me to this: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3649 Mats Thanks I searched the forum but must have not done textual changes. I translated German pages and will read them tonight since the ...

Does anyone have any tips/success stories on raising farowella fry? I have read the article in Shane's World by Bruce Brethauer and he gives some good tips but he mentions losing lots of fry in first few weeks. My farowella vittata just laid eggs and if they are fertile I want to try to raise as ...

Thanks Shane

Yes His rostrum looked that way when I got him. Has not affected his parenting. Know any fish plastic surgeons?

Pete

I am new to this forum and my twig catfish just laid eggs. Can anyone confirm if it is a Farlowella vittata? http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=340 I have read the article in reproduction section of website. Anyone have different or additional tips on feeding/raising young? Pete
