Saw guapore in smaller shop in tiong bahru yesterday. in fact, bought some.
Checked my book, quite definite is guapore, though it looks like another one with the name starting with the letter "c", very long name.
Anyone seen the "blue cory" from petmart? what exactly is that?

DEA, thats interesting I didn't realized cories do that. You mean if I have a light colored gravel the arcuatus will be whiter? Are pandas like that too? I prefer them white to display the contrast.----------------

Are they suitable in a community plant tank.
I have two angel n some other peaceful fishes.
I feed my angels with a mix of frozen blood worms and pellets, from what I can notice the blood worms has not chance to reach the bottom.
and these corys are bottom feeders aren't they!
I Love Penang
Simon,
You the one catching Yamato, is it?
Yah, I got from Ben last evening lah. Planned to get Panda but you saw the condition...
Ben said this's hardier than Panda, what say you? I've never kept this, but my Panda seem to last longer than my Three-Lined...[]
I went home, made partial water change before putting them in (oh, also got some Meteor Minnow from Ben).
Fifteen minutes later, while observing them, I spotted something in one of my plants, covered with fungus (white hairy stuff?).
It's a dead flying ant!!! While trying to get it out, bits of dirt went flying in the water and had to do another water change.[]
Really hope everybody is well. Sob, sob!
Hey, how about C. Caudimaculatus? My Cory book didn't mention about C. Similus when I looked up "Guapore".
I'm trying to look for the site which gives information with pictures on individual cory but so far still searching...[:0]
I feed (but planning to feed my new ones only this evening) my cory mainly tablet food and occasionally frozen blood worms. OK?
P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, in my 2ft tank, the frozen bloodworms also have difficulty reaching the bottom, so I've to put in a bigger portion at once and also have to be after feeding the other fish with their dried food.
Simon, you mean Similus / Simulatus? I just saw picture in http://www.alloddballaquatics.com/catfish.html when i made a search for Similis. Notice that Simi has blotches on its dorsal fins and over its eyes? Mine only has 1 blotch...?
Er, sorry that I didn't look around at the people at Ben's place, cos trying to catch the cory with a round net was no joke!!![:0]

simon, not nice (for ben) to "expose" the price i paid here, lah! i don't know whether you'll consider it good price, but this's the first time i bought cory with a $6 price tag!
oh yah! i wasn't looking at you, but i'd a feeling that the person who's catching the yamato (round net very difficult, right? but catching fish is easier with this than the rectangle net.) and later came back for something else.
i didn't see what you're catching the second time round (trying to make sure ben didn't give me the wrong bag of fish!) but i couldn't sense someone telling me, "don't catch all huh!ha, ha, ha!
hey, you guys/gals who keep white cloud mountain minnow, should see the meteor minnow, long fin version. very very beautiful, but you've to wait for the next lot. i caught the nicer ones already...
