haha, the male looks abit skinny though. i'm sure it will fatten up in no timeand good luck in your breeding program.
Yea. Haha.. Apparently the person who bought up the whole batch of C. Hastatus missed out on the 1 lonely male. Decided to rescue it from JZX there and then.. Haha. Cories are not meant to be lonely fish afterall.. Good that I bought 1 anyway. Had to expand my current crop's gene pool.

Oh ya. They are always abit malnourished from the shop. I already have a tub of tubifex ready.. The lonely male has already been introduced to the rest of the shoal. Hehe..
Breeding has been good so far. Recently there has been more than the usual deaths and I have since done a 75% wc. Hopefully that solves the problem.

Of the fries or the adults?Originally Posted by vannel
Of the juveniles. Not sure why.. But I just decided to play safe and did a major wc coupled with my Eheim maintenance.

Is 75% your usual proportion of water change? May I know if you use distilled water or just the usual aged + de-chlorinated water to perform the water change?
FWAH!! That's quite a haul...
To think you actually had me scrolling left, right, up & down looking for others!!

erhm... plural for fry is still fry. Fries taste good when crispy, with a touch of salt and ketchup!!

Just don't look at me orh. Not my doing!! I'm quite contented to see my little harem growing steadily and not getting stressed out with unexplained casualty.
In case Murphy decides to come a knocking on my door, my hastatus are distributed into 5 tanks, 2 of which are the F2s. Kiasu, kiasi, kia hastatus konk!!

Haha.. and therein lies my problem!! I have all my eggs in 1 basket! F0 to F2 as well..

Oops, thanks for the correction. Btw, Ron, will daily small (say 10%) water change (with aged & de-chlorinated after) be harmful to the fishes in any way?
Hi bros, may i know that you guys usually feed your C. hastatus?
thanks in advance
Unless your tank's bio-load is high or you have a habit to feed heavily, why the need for daily WC? Then again, if you have the time, it's actually good husbandry and quite ideal, ie. small incremental replacement with treated water instead of larger weekly WC.
Lexz, I feed mostly a variety of live foods plus carnivore tabs and Novobits. I have a fetish for plumb fishes!

Re: The Hastatus Century Club
@Ron, which (brand/model) carnivore tab? I was thinking of feeding the fish food to the worms before feeding the worms to the fishes...
My C. Hastatus are quite adamant about their tubifex diet and they don't go for anything else anymore..

Hi vannel, may I know if you feel them daily, or...? & how do you physically feed them, i.e. administer the worms?My C. Hastatus are quite adamant about their tubifex diet and they don't go for anything else anymore..
I feed them daily.. But there are some days where I cant get any tubifex (sold out, too late and LFS has closed) and they go hungry for a day or two.
The tubifex are washed through a few times prior to feeding to get rid of gunk and foul smelling water.. After which, I just drop a small glob of tubifex into the tank. Nothing special to it.

I see. I was thinking of doing alternate days. I'll see how it goes. Right now, my worry is that not every one will get its share. Sometimes there will be a few that do not eat, & I do not prefer to leave the worms in the water for too long...

Okay; I drop my worms into the tank, they bury rather deeply into the soil...need some more novel solutions.
My tank is sand based and the layer of sand is super thin. The worms generally don't have much to bury themselves in.

If you have a deep layer of gravel/sand/soil, don't drop the whole ball of worms in. Use a glass bowl or some porcelain feeding dish instead. If the worms burrow into the substrate and die in there because of unknown reasons, you might have a massive problem on your hands.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
