Hi, Finally, last year, I managed to get my sterbais to spawn(9 F0 and 5 gb). (Thank you, ‘apistomaster’ for this reply http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17679&sid=5188b2867099a32be4114905c8cf5a94).

Hello, I have 7 adolfoi that I am trying to breed for over a year, now. They are alone in a 50ltr tank with daily water changes of 20%. Temp 26º, pH 6.5 and low conductivity. Not a single egg. I guess they are very hard to breed. In Portugal they are extremly rare in stores, I maneged to get some in ...

Corydoras geryi . I used to have a group in the past and the males got more and more beautiful. Not so easy to get hold of (at least overhere) and not very cheap either, but what a stunning Cory! Very nice, I've never seen one here in Portugal though Hi, I think I've seen them in Portugal, with ...

Hi,

I will follow Ian's advice. I have one of his books, quite a bibleâ?¦ not as much detail has I need, but very good.
Concerning worm feeding, I can give them some frozen worms. My live grindal stock is very low. (Ant attack)

Well, thank you both for your assistance, I will give newsâ?¦

Hi all, I am trying to spawn corydoras sterbai. This quest started 8 months ago, but no success so far. I have read a lot of success stories and compiled a few ideas but I canâ??t figure out whatâ??s wrong. Here are the details, so you can try and give me some suggestions or advice. The setup: ...

Hi,

Thank you for your tips apistomaster. I will follow that water change regimen.
I will post results.

Thank you,
Gul

Congratulations Marc!

I have been trying to spawn them for over 6 month now, with no luck. (I have 14 in 60ltr)
It must be quite hard to trigger the spawning process. Good luck.

Thank you all, you have been very helpful.
It is not easy to find these corys in Portugal. I will post photosâ?¦

Thank you,
Gul

Hi MatsP, I have 'Breeding Corydoradinae'. There is a Sterbai log but no haraldschultzi, only a photo in some other breading log. Meanwhile, I read somewhere in the web that one has the head white with black dots and the other has the head black with white dots. But I just canâ??t see that from the ...

Hi, Iâ??ve got the chance to get some haraldschultzi and sterbai, for quite a nice price. My problem is that I find very difficult to tell them apart. I have Aqualog catalogue and a Ian book but looking at those photos I can find no differencesâ?¦ Can anyone describe me a conspicuous difference, I ...

Thanks Mats,

I think I give them small enough particles, but I will try to grind them down a little bit more.

Thank you, I will post results,
Gul

Sorry, there are 10 specimens.

MatsP wrote:Are the fish at all active?

They are movingâ?¦ they are scooping around the sand as if looking for food, but they pass thru it.

Thank you,
Gul

Hi, Finally I got some corydoras arcuatus. They are very rare to find in my country (Portugal), but a store finally has imported some. They are very young and thin. It seems that they only have head. I have put them alone in a 50ltr tank with white sand and a biofilter. I have them for a few days ...
