    Among all my cories, there are 2 which develop pimple-like growth on their cheek and body. They are still as active and eating well. What could the growth be? Any medication to cure it?

    As long as I know from my own personal experience panda is not easy to keep, die easily as it need to be well-fed accordingly to some aquarium shop owners.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    I have come to conclude that it is rather difficult to keep corydoras in a community tank. I have platy, Molly and rosy barbs and they are very aggressive when it comes to food. I need to throw up to 6 to 7 disc pellets just to feed 7 Corys as the rest of fishes will compete. I have since separate the corys and only need to feed one to two discs during feeding times.

    I am going to changing my gravel to project soil. Anyone had any experience if the corydoras are going to be ok? Will the soil bottom damage their barbels? Please help to advise, thank you.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    To answer some of the latest posts in this thread:

    @seanang168: Drop the food in at night when the lights are out. This allows your Corydoras to feed in peace. They are after all, catfish and more nocturnal in nature than anything else.

    @situkwokhan: C. panda are very sensitive fishes from my experience. The ones you purchase from the shops at a young age will invariably die from various reasons over time. Same with any large adult panda cory. They seem to thrive best on live foods, but in the usual home aquarium, people would rather use dry food.

    @Kenng: I have no idea what Project Soil is, but if it has sharp edges, then it will be bad for their barbels.

    @fuzziefishes: I need to know what species you are referring to. Some "Corydoras" will form growths on their cheeks as they mature over time. Some are indicators for their gender and sexual maturity.

    @wrongwroks: I too own C. habrosus at the moment. They should not be tilting side ways. However, during breeding season, the males will assume a T-position to mate with the females. Unless you see this behaviour, it is likely there are problems with your Habbies.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    The ones I have now have been in the tank for 2 days but settling in well. I will probably move them to separate quarters later on. I used to keep them and many other species of Corydoras in the past for nearly 2 years. The oldest Cory I had was a C. similis that survived for 3 years under my care.

    Thank you for the advice, added them in for coming to a month. So far so good.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    In my time keeping Corydoras, nothing made the little buggers happier then when kept in a tank with fine sand and leaf litter. The way they spin in the sand digging for food (tubifex at that time) was a delight to watch, same when they root about looking for food.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    Only a group of 6, no more. They need swimming space, especially the dwarf species, and require good food to thrive. Don't be tempted to put too many in that nano tank.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    Just a tip, take a look at your cories regularly, to see if their barbels are intact. If there is some barbel loss or obvious signs of injury, then the gravel may be a huge problem, or there is some contamination in your gravel layer. They seem to be sensitive to trapped gas bubbles in the substrate.

    Re: Corydoras Keepers

    Hmm, do cories of different species school together? Google seems to give me conflicting answers.
