Very impressive :good:

What type of cories do you have?

Well, I didnt know that. I have never seen mine doing it, guess I really never payed attention. Thanks for teaching me something, Ian :good:

You maybe be right, but I seem more spread out spots, rather then a line that you see on C. schwartzi. Also, if its a C. schwartzi, then it looks very stressed and faded. Almost looks like a C. melanistius to me.

Well, that makes more sense! :rolleyes: I know males of the Scleromystax species will fight over territory, but I dont think the fish being described is a Scleromystax EDIT (again): We really dont need to go any further until a clearer picture is posted. I just realized there is a picture...

Especially when Ian is right. Thats definately a group of C. pygmaeus :good: Its very easy to tell the difference. C. pygmaeus has a black stripe down the body and C. hastatus does not :good:

Very hard to tell by that picture, but it doenst look like a C. schwartzi to me.

I dont think that is a B. splendens. I didnt know that about aspidoras. As far as I know, aspidoras are peaceful and need to be in groups. EDIT: Plus the fish in question is 3", I dont think any aspidoras get that big... Brochis splendens (please excuse the flash):

Definately not Corydoras semiaquilus. I have found they are one of the more shy cories. They just get bigger. I just dont think its a corydoras thats in question, its mostly likely something else. What page 7 are you talking about? And you have seen them actually fighting? If not, the...

I have never heard of corydoras fighting. They like to be together and need to be kept that way to thrive. Im with everyone else, sounds like make a loach/botia thing. They will regularly get into squabbles to decide whose boss. That is normal. A picture of the fish you are talking about...

You might want to make it cooler then that. Peppered cories prefer cooler water, more like 22-23 C

Here are some of the flagtails and portholes: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=191430&hl= I havent gotten any of the cories yet.

That mantis is amazing. I was looking at your other topic with the macro pictures. I have been leaning towards setting up a saltwater tank, but havent because of time and money. These pictures arent helping me fight the urge :lol:

Very impressive. The colors are very vivid. Keep up the good work :good:

I understand that. It took me over a year to find these. So I made sure I got a good sized group :good:

No not really. They all have the same ways about them. What makes it so interesting is that they are found miles apart in the wild. The real only difference is that the flagtails get bigger. They all eat the same, act the same, all stay in a big group. They will venture off some, but when I...

Weekly partial water changes and regular tank maintance :good:

If you put floating plants in the tank, then they will also lie in those. They should perk up and go crazy at feeding time...

Thanks for the nice comments :good: That tank is 55 gallons.. I thought the same thing. Several other people have said that too.

I got some new 8 Portholes to go along with the 4 I already had and 10 Flagtails this week. The flagtails are a pretty good size and all are very active. I have been looking for these fish for along time and Im glad I was finally able to get a nice sized group. Its quite a site to see them...

I will try to get one. Its not done yet though.

I got some new fish in the mail today :D I got: 6 Corydoras sp. (C057) aka Corydoras nordestini 6 Corydoras sp. (C004) aka Corydoras virginiae 10 Dianema urostriatum 8 Dianema longibarbis I hope to get some pictures soon B)

$10 isnt that bad of a price for a clown loach. $30-35 is very high, unless they are around the 4-5" range. As for the shop breeding them, thats probably not true either. Clown loaches dont breed in home aquariums. Good luck with the new tank, but remember, clown loaches will eventually need...

Actually, "emerald" is not the correct name for that cory. That is a C. aeneus, commonly known as "bronze cory." "Emerald" cories are usually Brochis splendens, which get a lot bigger.

Very cool fish. Incredible how old it was. Makes you wonder how long it takes them to get that big...

Very nice. I have cat that looks just like fifi and heidi. POTM nomination for the 2nd picture :good:

Bad idea. Cories need clean water and a very clean substrate to thrive.

What kind of "algae eater" is it? If its a CAE, then thats your problem. They can be very aggressive.

While its easy to just put sand over the gravel, its not the best idea. Eventually the sand with go to the bottom and all of the gravel will surface. I tried the whole half sand half gravel thing and it didnt work. I had to go back and change the whole thing to sand. I guess you could put...

I dont agree with that. If the gravel is too large or too sharp, it can easily damage a cories barbels. Cories like to dig and search for food. They like to move the substrate around. If its too sharp, they can damage their barbels trying to move it.

What kind of loach is it? Probably the reason you dont see it is because loaches like to be in groups and are very social. They will hide some to begin with, but if kept alone, will hardly ever come out and will not be happy.

Almost looks like gravel to me :blink:

They are all a form of C. aeneus. C. aeneus is a very variable species. There are C. aeneus orange laser, green laser, peru, just to name a few...

Lots of pictures :D Black Kuhli loaches I got about a month ago: Clown Loaches: Botia kubotai: Dojo Loaches: YoYo Loach:

Very interesting. That second picture is very good :good:

Nice pictures :good: We have Robins, Bluebirds, Redbirds, Mockingbirds, Crows, Bluejays, Hummingbirds, All kinds of woodpeckers, Wrens, and Im sure theres some I left out.

Wow, that is very cool! Thanks for sharing :good:

I agree, sounds like a good idea :good:

Nice pictures. Very pretty cat :good: Go here and follow the directions: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=185363 Good Luck :good:

Almost sounds like Black C. Aeneus... http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/speci...p?species_id=34
