One panda has a crooked spine but swims and eats well. The reason why I bought him was because of his short body defect. But very healthy.

If anyone don't want the panda I'll gladly keep him because he's such a darling.

Please give them a loving loving home.

At least in their new home, those Corys will still be among the same friends. But Corys can easily mix with other peaceful fish too. Once I put two Golden Algae eaters with my Sterbais and within two days, they have become friends and were mixing and socialising very well.

I'm using sand now!

[tetrakid]

When I had my Sterbais, I need to suck up a lot of their poo every day.

I make a small siphon tube by attaching an air hose to a hard plastic tube about the depth of my tank.
The hard plastic tube and the air hose must be of the same diameter. If too big, it will not be effective.

Just siphon the poo into a 2L drink bottle and then replace it with good water. This must be done once daily
or more times as required. This way, the fish will be have a more healthy home to live in. I have no sand or
gravel in my Sterbai tank.

I have no sand or gravel in mine either. Just some rocks and a plant. got some moss for the shrimps but don't know what to do with them.

[tetrakid]

Sand and gravel are good only for planted tanks with a few little fish. But for tanks with a lot of livestock, a lot of gravel sand and stones will be harder to maintain because of the accumulating amount of lodged fish poo which do not go through the filter.

So whenever I keep fish that eat and poo a lot, eg goldfish and corys, I don't use gravel. In fact I hardly use gravel at all for all my tanks, since I am also not that good at planted tanks. But for a beautiful planted tank, there must be a gravel bottom.

All corys collected!

[tetrakid]

Hahaha, and you have removed all the fish from your signature. What new fish are you going to get?
I may get a cheap packet of Platys in a plastic bag if I have time to feed them.

Adopting all my bf's sterbais in exchange for my expensive babies :O

[tetrakid]

I think Sterbais are the best Corys of all, the cutest among all the Corys. I have no time to look after them,
if not I will not give them away too. I also think it is better not to mix many types of Corys.
They are happier among many of their own type, just like schooling fish (tetras, etc).

Hi all.

Created a new thread (in my sig) and decided to stop posting on this thread, since there were a lot of major changes to the tank.

Thanks all!

[bravobb]

They do! If they are freeze dried ones they don't sink so my corys don't eat them.

I always put the frozen blood worm into a small cup with moderate room temperate water and use a spoon to stir for a minute...
They will soften and when you pour into the tank, they will sink.

[bravobb]

New SUDO substrate. Corys just finished meal.
Added a styrofoam board to absorb shock because tank is on my study table so putting down things sometimes might scare them.


Lox that is flashing quite often. Healthy scales and active behaviour.



Now my older panda and sterbai are also flashing..
After a full year of staring at my bf's tank and a few weeks of staring at mine at least an hour a day, this is the first few times I've seen corydoras doing that.

Nice and beautiful cory you have...
