I use earthworm flakes and sticks from a vender in the US. My Cories love them.

Sounds like you have blockage somewhere or the impellor is not functioning fully. You probably need to tear it down to determine the problem(s).

I've heard a lot of good things about wetspottropical, they're in Portland OR. There is is also aquabid.

Check out wetspot, they usully have a couple differant types of whiptails and they will ship.

Re: pH - Try to find some locally raised cories. They should be well adjusted to your local water.

You could use a pre-filter (sponge) over the filters intake.

The instructions for mine tell me to backflush mine everytime it's not used for 3 or more days.

Haveing a couple of right sized caves will increase the possability of them breeding.

I'm sure it didn't cross breed. It may have laid unfertilized eggs.

Maybe to late, but a eye dropper maybe faster than a pipette for removing waste from the fry tank.

Do you have a TDS meter? Someone has already asked this but I didn't see a response. The reason I ask is you say you are using PURE RO water from Walmart. Is this drinking water? If so, it probably has some minerals (TDS) in it as we shouldn't be drinking pure RO/DI water.

I don't know how much help this will be. I have an old 304 that I replaced the impellor and upgraded the tap connector to the new style. It really puts out a lot more water than it did when it was new.

You may want to put a pre-filter on your filters intake to keep them from getting sucked up. But my guess is they headed straight to the bottom and may still be there. Try crushing up some sinking flake food and feed a little a couple of times a day. Also check your waste water when you do water...

I have some Clown Plecs that I've had for probably 15 years. Also had a couple of Sterbai that were at least 12 years old.
