New Tank for cichlids!

[sen_jie]

I simply love the XXL size bleeding heart. huge and fast!

Once water is stable i will get more DW from GC, more ferns from GC and throw in adult size apistogrammas and angels

[stormhawk]

sen_jie, the Corydoras are as follows:

polka dot, black stripe on eye, greyish-white body = C. atropersonatus
diagonal stripe from dorsal fin to base of lower tail fin and eye stripe = C. melini
same pattern as melini but added spots in the middle of body = C. loxozonus (in pic 3 closest to a rummynose tetra)

Thanks bro stormhawk.

can i ask what is the difference between a atropersonatus and a kanoi (both looks almost identical!)

On a side note, getting some Metae to join in the platoon this sunday ^_^

See the following pics by Benny:





In kanei, the spotting is more fine and closer together. They extend into the caudal fin and into the dorsal fin. The presence of the faint black mark extending into the dorsal fin is another identification marker. There are several C numbers which look similar to kanei and atropersonatus, but basically, looking at the spot pattern and the tail is enough to tell them apart.

I personally love C. atropersonatus. Had about a dozen or so when I had them some years ago. Very beautiful cory.
