I'm trying to convince my husband at the moment so I can change the gravel to river rock..I'll get thru to him some day... :grr:

Can anyone tell the sex of these corys? I've attached a pic of 3 of them underside below...

Just got them today for $4.99 each.

I think is corydoras sterbai...

Here's Sterbai, Corydoras haraldschultzi & mine together...in that order.

Sterbai or Corydoras haraldschultzi? Which is closer? :dunno:

What species of corys are they...they're really nice....help me determine their species.

Some of them...

There are 6 other corys in the tank and I'm sure there are males amongst them. I did a hefty water change last friday hoping for some action ( and also to help take out some of the medication that was in the tank).

I think its really good comparing to the other filters I've had in the past...IMO

TO those who use Aquaclear HOB Power Filters...the unit comes with a Filter Sponge, A Carbon Pack and a Biomax Pack. I've noticed a lot of people on this forum uses different materials in their filters. What do you use as filter media? :unsure:

Unfortunately I cannot get Furanol here in the US...it sounds like a great product.

SHe?? Great..so howcome I dont have any babies?? Wish I could get some.

I've had Bronze, Albinos, peppered, Schwartz, Surinamensis, Bandits, Juhlis etc and my fav is always albinos. They're so much more active than the others. Always on the go. Surely makes the tank alive with their white bodies whizzing by... :wub:

Here's a full shot of him..excuse the water stains on the glass...

He's one of the first corys I ever got...I've had him for about 9 months..he's real big.

I love them so much, just thought I'd share the pics...

He died during a water change..I guess it was too much for him. :byebye:

Here are a few pics of my guys out playing...bronze, albinos & peppered. :wub:

I also think it might be best to isolate the corys because right now I'm treating the mollies in the main tank with fungas clear and I only started the 2nd treatment yesterday. I only have a 1g tank to treat in...I dont have a hospital.

I was told that antibiotics had an effect on bacteria and established systems...which antibiotic is best?

I'm thinking about treating with an antibiotic after receiving some advice...should I isolate the corys and treat them or should I treat the entire tank? If I treat only the corys..I'll treat them all because I've been having cory trouble lately...

Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates 30. the other inhabitants are mostly guppies, a few mollies, platys & swords, also a few other corys. I really cant see any of the livebearers picking at them. :/

That is a horrible thing to wake up to...you have my sympathy. RIP Chief.

I've been noticing some wierd behavior from my Schwartz cory recently and upon taking a closer look I think he may have a bacterial infection around his barbel/ mouth area. Firstly I thought it maybe because I have gravel but he's been in the tank for about 2 weeks and this only now happens, all...

Paid $6.99...its a real simple setup thats seems comfy for the betta. A few black stones, a plant and a vase.

Thanks, I got him from a lfs in New Hyde Park, Long Island, NY. He has the best and longest fins of all my crowntails! Thats why I decided to put him in the larger vase instead of the 1g tank he was in. I think he can spread his fins out better in the vase.

I dont know anything about plants but it was labelled amazon sword...so I guess thats what it is! :nod:

Quotes: "Just make sure to cover it with something so he doesn't jump out. " "Definately make some sort of lid for sure!" I took a cd spindle (that 50 pack blanks cds come in) and cut of most of the pole that the cds fit into, so there's about a half inch hole leading to the top for air. I...

This is what I did to it...I put a short plant in the bottom (since it was the smaller section) and left enough swimming room at the top. It holds about a 1.25 gallon. The little guy loves it, especially swimming through the leaves of the plant on the bottom. See pic below... Edit: It only...

I say Chief...he looks like the headdress a chief from a tribe would usually wear... similar to the one in the pic below....

Normally I dont like the idea of using vases with bettas but I have a little problem where Rusty's glass bowl cracked and I was thinking of putting him in this since I cant go buy another bowl right now. I am wondering how much water it holds, it looks really big. It has to be more than a...

I can see why...he's cute! :wub:

Two of my crowntails are in a divided 2.5 gallon tank. I had a problem twice where one of them jumped the divider into the other side and they started to flare and circle each other. They didnt start fighting on either occasion. I netted one as fast as I could so no damage was done. Anyways, I...

Its Gorgeous! :wub:

I turned down my heater. The tank water feels cool to the touch but the thermometer says around 80.

What species of corys do you guys have in your tanks and how many of each? If you have pictures, post them. Please include the tank size! I'm falling in love more and more with these little guys even though I am having a really hard time with them at the moment.
