Congratulations on the eggs!
The ones with the little black dots are fertile and that is the fry starting to grow. The ones with little white dots and the ones that are just white are probably not fertile. Keep an eye on them because if they are not fertile, then they will fungus and that can...
I have learned they will eat just about anything. I have had mine for almost 2 years now and I have never fed them live foods. They eat flake, sinking wafers, and frozen blood worms, stuff like that.
Well after searching planetcatfish, I found these:

If you look at those, Eutropius debauwi is listed under Pareutropius debauwi, which is a different fish from...
The Eutropius debauwi is actually another type of fish. The one Im looking for is often confused with the that one, but it has three stripes instead of one. I guess I could search for Eutropius buffei and see what happens.
Im mainly looking for peoples experience on them. You can read all...
Anyone keep or kept these catfish before? I saw some in the LFS and they look very interesting. Im looking for stuff like how sensitive they are, etc. I know they like to be in groups..
Thanks in advance :good:
I second that nomination. Those are some incredible pictures Annastasia :good:
Cleo looks like just one of my cats. Her name is Callie because she is a Calico Cat :D
I dont think what you are seeing are "babies." First off, the eggs are not fertile while they are still in the female. The eggs are white until they are fertilized by the male. The eggs then get some color to them after that once the fry starts to develop.
EDIT: You also didnt answer the...
The tank with the guppy fry, how long has it been running? How big is it? What kind of substrate?
The cories will just lay the eggs all over the glass. Dont worry, from what I can see, these are Bronze C. Aeneus. Once they start spawning, then they should spawn often for you. If something...
If you are wanting to keep them, then you need to seperate the parents from the rest of the fish in the tank. Once they have spawned and she has layed the eggs, then you need to remove the parents and put an airstone on the under the eggs to for circulation. This will keep the eggs from...
I saw some Winter White Hamsters the other day and was wondering if anyone kept them. Im just looking for information like, do they like to be in groups, type cage and environment, food, stuff like that..
Thanks in advance :good:
Yep, those are B. splendens. They are a great fish and you will really enjoy watching them, especially feeding time. Mine go crazy when I feed them frozen bloodworms.
Here is a picture of 2 of mine:
Its really hard to tell by those pictures, but 2 of the 3 in that first picture look like C. elegans. If not, Im pretty sure they are part of the Elegans Group. Better pictures would help.
They spawn all the time, but I have stop collecting the eggs because I have no where to put them. Im setting up a fish room soon and plan on trying to spawn my C. weitzmani :good:
I dont know anything about Trimar, but Im getting some C. concolor in a couple of weeks. If they look healthy, (barbels look good, no red spots or frayed fins) then they should be fine :good:
I agree, they are nice cories and are on my list. I have heard of them being a little sensitive too. But like PC1963, after they adjust to your water conditions and if you keep up with the tank maintence, they should be fine :good:
When you say "red mark" in the skin, that sounds like a bacterial infection. Do any of the other cories have any red spots on the skin?
Like everyone said, the buzzing throughout the tank is normal. That will stop as they get older.
I am almost positive its a Corydoras melini, which are quite common. If you are still unsure about the identity, then you could post this picture in the corydoras forum and someone else should give their opinion.
