    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    Cory's are just like goldfish. They pass a lot after eating. That is why I used to siphon their shyt every day with my little tiny siphon tube.
    Since I did not have any substrate, it was easier to siphon. Siphoning the shyt will make the water last longer from fouling by these big eaters.

    Depends on the plant. Crypts and Echinodorus get their sustenance from their roots other plants like Cabomba get it from the water column. As a rule of thumb plants with "bendy" aren't that finicky wrt substrate composition as they can get most of the nutrients from the water column.

    I just started a 1.5 ft tanks with 10 pygmy corys. What will be some good tank mates for them? I was thinking some rili shrimps or chocolates, will that be a good choice?

    I have Sterbai corydoras, neon tetras and nerite snails with my 12 pygmys.

    Now i got 10 corydoras habrosus to tank together with them. It's pretty cute to see them hiding together with my pygmys under the driftwood for shade

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    I love corydoras hastatus! Anyone breeding them successfully?

    I'm thinking of setting a tank just to breed them...

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    I think vannel had success breeding them as well as RonWill. Others have also bred and raised the fry locally too. My sole survivor from a group I purchased some time ago at Green Chapter is still in my 4ft community tank.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    Hmm.. A species only tank is the most important aspect. They breed well in normal room temperatures for me. A very thin layer of sand, some driftwood, anubias/Java moss clumps/other leafy plants will help. A mild current flowing through helps since they lay eggs where the current is strongest. No need to remove eggs. Large water changes every 3 days.

    I've bred C. Hastatus in the hundreds during its peak. However, my population was always limited by my tank size. It seemed like the population would reach its critical mass and result in large die-offs. I think a sustainable population would require constant culling and introduction of new specimens to widen the gene pool.

    I've since stopped keeping C. Hastatus. Since my wife got pregnant, I've downsized and given my tank away to make space for the baby cot. Perhaps RonWill still has his 800 strong shoal?

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    AhVy, I originally had 20 pieces from GC but only 1 survived till now. Rest died along the way. The survivor happens to be a large male, but I think he's past his peak now. In any case I can't sell him either. My GF loves it too much.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    I'm setting up 2ft corydoras species tank for only corydoras similis. The tank is cycled and I have 2 similis at the moment and planning to have 10-20 of them. Anybody has a success story in breeding similis? Which LFS has a good stock of similis? What is the price range? I tried C328, Polyart, JZX for few weeks with no luck. Thanks.

    Corydoras Keepers

    Guys.. Can give some tips in taking care of these cute corydoras? Are live feeds a must for them? Recently I got a pympy corydoras suffers from fin rot. Usually what causes fin rot? Also how to nurse it back and to prevent this?

    ... C. similis juvenile.

    C. similis breed like most Corydoras species... what more is there to say?

    As for availability, GC unker is occasionally a cory nut. Express your interest and he *might* know where to get you some.

    No ah... and I wished I did!!! Through unexpected neglect, my 300-strong is now decimated to about 80 C. hastatus. I'm slowing conditioning them back to form in 2 separate tanks and to my delight, saw a few tiny buggers during a night check but... still much more needed to be done, if I wanted that 4ft tank with 800 hassies!!!

    I suspect your water parameters might be 'off'. Do a large water change (anti-chloramine treated, please) twice weekly and update.

    Thanks Ron, managed to get 3 similis at Y618 this afternoon, the last 3 that they have. Still looking for more, will try GC. Thanks.
