Lol I thought it doesn't have a sword it's obv female! Did you think people would say platy? I was thinking, the tails too long to be a platy-yes, I need to get out more :p   Another beauty  

I was going to put female, but just left it at swordtail as it's a bit obvious lol

You have the same as my landlady. She has 4 tanks with over 100 different species!      I envy you! The duplicareous were the ones I was meant to get! I will never get over it lol

Swordtail

  Lol I will suggest it! 

  Ah now that I remember-my landlady mentioned them, must be the same he's bringing to this one! I love the green lasers. I really don't have much space though! My 95L/25G has 1 gold ram, 3 bronze, 2 panda, 4 elegans and 1 metae. I am still getting the 6 schultzei too. I really won't be able to...

  Yeah he said he will be bringing cories for sale, I was going to ask if he will have corydoras duplicareus since I missed out on them.

ooo are you in Scotland too? Are you going?

  You have 2 weeks to get here! It's on sunday 4th August! 

Daize is offline...

  I know they are still young but after the booboo of the melini/metae I am doubting everything now!    I didn't actually know that people know who he is. He is doing a seminar in a town about 40 mins from me. Myself and my landlady are going, he will be bringing cories as well. I will make sure...

So sorry daize! I have been researching apistos, kribensis and rams before taking the plunge with rams.  You take a turn. Is that ok with everyone? I pass my turn on to daize :)

http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=110   I really hope they are. 

Lol aww. I am a little worried, I know they are just young, but on planet catfish it shows them with black on the dorsal fin so I am hoping they are definitely elegans. All 4 look like this, the pic is of one of the chunkier ones lol. 

It's beautiful! Apistogramma cacatuoides? 

  Hahaha! That actually made me laugh because I know the bronze are the more "switched on" ones and the peppers are like la la la swimming about with the other fish! 

See nice and easy! Extra points if you can tell me if he's a boy which I suspect or female :p    You win eagles!

  Thankyou! Before people accuse me of being an uber cory geek-the only reason I got that was this- I googled corydoras elegans before I ordered my 4, this pic came up. I showed the LFS cus I wanted some and they said that's napoensis (hence why I put that first!) and that I could pre order...

Mines first spawned when I lowered the temp of the water I was doing it to make the platies feel better, instead, I got eggs. In this heatwave we are having, I was away to my parents last sunday, came back on friday to about 40 eggs. They all hatched within hours of removing them! I hope I don't...

The frustrating thing is I seen that pic only yesterday as I am ordering some in but can't remember arrgghh! Corydoras undulatus?

Cory napoensis?

The new batch are doing great, I am not even going to freak myself out by counting how many there are lol. I was in the main tank moving things around and got the fright of my life when I lifted one of the rocks up and about 4 or 5 little cory babies darted around. I carefully and quickly put...

 

Planet catfish-everyones best friend lol. 

  Lots and lots! That's what makes it fun :p

Argh too late lol! Yeah they are tough to ID

No sorry the dorsal fins different,  corydoras nanus?

Corydoras elegans?

  hahahahaha!

YAY! You win I was sold them as melini - very similar, difficult to tell apart so well done :D

What's the actual name please :p just being picky lol 

Noor, it's your eyes playing tricks on you! I have no egglayers until now! My cory fry are in the other tank! Pete, here is my new guy.      I have admired them for so long, I finally took the plunge.  I calculated that my 95L tank is actually 25 US gallons. He should be fine in there. 

Here's an easy one, excuse my messy sand :p  

Corydoras schwartzi 

  No am I meant to? I put the wisteria in, about a month ago, it's taken over my fry tank! My PH is around 6.4. I also have amazon sword which is massive now!

That's why I suggested a low maintenance plant like wisteria which does not need co2, it just grows anyway.

I have the tablets too! I have the king british ones...which don't stick to the glass  always falls off and they finish it off there!   Nice pics! I have an albino long fin BN he's the cutest!

So as promised here are pics of the fry! I don't know where they got this colouring from! Mum was half black dad was all black!       That's my corydoras elegans in the bag behind them!

So...here are my elegans! They are still juveniles so have some growing to do! I am in love they are adorable and very active! There's quite a bit of variation within the elegans on planet catfish, when they grow up a bit then maybe I will be able to tell male from female.       

I've lost 2 cories already but we are loving this weather in scotland. I have been at my parents all week they live in edinburgh and the temps been in the 30's, I came back home yesterday and I am like it's not even warm! It's been in the 20's here but nothing compared to them.  Woke up this...
