First time buy cory, never really check all the above. However, all looks active when catching them. No missing eyes on the 6 panda cory I bought. phew...

Congrats. At least they're all healthy and are wonderful additions to your tank

My cardinals always snatch food from the cory. Greedy bugger! End up I have to over feed the cardinal so that there are left over food for cory. Any better way to feed cory? How about drop food after lights off?

[dc88]

Same problem i have. Not only cardinal, also the yamato shrimp snatch the hakari wafer carry it away from the cory.
Found a way : feed at night, clip the wafer with a paper clip attach to a string and sink in at night after light off. Too heavy for yamato to carry it away and can't see by cardinal.

[chtan23]

My wafer is about 10 cents coin size, so the yamato can't carry it away, but the cardinals are feasting on it! So have to do it after lights off.

Corys behave like blind fish. Though they have big round eyes they don't use them for seeing food, even if the food is right in front of them. Instead, they prefer to grope around for food with their barbells. Very strange behaviour which is very different from other fish which rush to the food once they see it from far away.

Is gold laser cory easy to keep?

[Shi Xuan]

Not that easy but not too difficult as well, somewhat a moderate cory, I would say. Take note of their barbels. It's the most sensitive part of their body.

Is anyone keeping C.hastatus? The recent weather has turned slightly cooler and my friend's cories bred so I am looking forward to see updates on them.

In the midst of feeding the other fishes I'll normally just drop the pellets for the cory in. But slightly overfeeding the others works as well.

Oh you got the rabauti too? Auntie just came in a bunch of really large ones they look like breeding stock! I couldn't resist so I grabbed one big mama first... Going back for the smaller males later.

Where.did.you.find.the.concolor???

[KittyCat]

Idk if it's concolor leh!! I found one at c328 and one at Qian Hu yesterday. They look alike. I've seen so many types of 'concolor' on google its like it is and it isn't.


I don't know if I got a female rabauti not hehehe. All also very fat. Their face look like dipsy from teletubbies.

Take a pic, we can ID for you if it looks like a big ball it's probably female!

I sold my old concolor group and only kept one piece that has a really high fin. Regretting it ever since, now looking for mates for my poor boy.

[KittyCat]

It has slightly purplish body with very little but slightly visible yellow fins.

Something like this. But I've seen pictures of concolor with very intense color. Weird ah. Maybe they are 'low' quality concolors. Only $1 from Qian Hu, $2 from C328. And they have this line down from the front of the dorsal fin to the side fins. Like in this image:

But this is not the type of color mine has.

[soltari007]
