Could it be Corydoras zygatus

It just arrived an hour ago so it is ilkely stressed. I had to release it into the aquarium to get a 1/2 decent picture due to lighting. So yes it is very stressed but should be ok in a couple of hours. The place i purchased it from is fairly reliable and so i doubt it is a glo cory but the...

this was sent to me by mistake and I don't recgonize it:

I have no problem with small fishes in a 55 the problem is with small fishes is how to use the full height as it is a fairly tall aquarium. Obviously there are some pretty decent dwarf cichild for the lower/lower middle regions and there are tons of schoolers for the upper regions but capturing...

Yes but i still have too many :(

i have too many frys - these are the frys i have: Mesonauta egregius krobia xinguensis a. wolli a. winkelfleck a. sp Blutkehl -- I need a fry catcher but no one makes one :( Sadly my IBs eggs were eaten so i have to study this problem as they should be easy to breed I think i might know what is...

You can use an eye dropper or long nose pipette. they should be left with the parents. They can take bbs - you can try decapsulate brine shrimp eggs if you can't get some bbs hatched fast enough. You can also try some ground up flakes basically stick your finger in the water put a coupel of...

Nope but they sure do head butt a lot.

By the way and unrelated i really wouldn't use dan's fish - they are some pretty slimy advertising. For example they are selling tank raised nijjensi (rio) @ $80 a pair - since they are tank raised and not wc the 'rio' part is just to jack up the price by 2x.

Yes this is common esp for cichild - as for the killing off - that mostly just happens in aquairums where space is limited. If you stuck them in the amazon the killing in most cases won't happen because they will drift apart. - Btw angelfishes are typically like this - when young they tend to...

You can ignore the ph - it is fine if the kh drops and ph stability isn't a requirement. Sudden changes can shock the fishes but i'm not sure how much it takes to shock them. When i transition a couple of aquariums to 100% ro water i didn't really pay attention and i didn't have any issue with...

brooding IB:

I will only comment on what i've used. I have an fx6 and eheim 2217 - i've used both for over 5 years. I hate them both but i hate the 2217 even more. The fx4 would be easier ot manage than the fx6 and i've not used the fluval 407 (which i think is a different model). Btw both eheim and...

I'll make it easier just be a conformist and vote for the one that is most popular.

A couple of caves from my aquarium: and a bit of light: and

You can do cardinals and rummy together but rummy really need a 48 inch aquarium for swimming room (my 50 are in constant motion 'cept when they aren't) and cardinals are mostly idle (my 50 just sit around all day 'cept when the discus move towards them then they quickly switch to the other side...

First a 55 (imho) is a badly shaped aquarium - i'd go with one of the following 40b, 50 gallon (tall 40b), 75 gallon (just tell the hubby it is an oversized 55). All of the above alternatives to 55 have greater width. While a 20 long and 29 are 12 inches wide - they are 'smaller'. The 55 has is...

I wouldn't put him down at this point; clean water and good food should heal him up. As long as he eats and has clean water he should be ok. The cut might be infected and it looks nasty but unless the infection is super serious the surface wound will eventually heal.

Wild caught dwarf gourami are fine if you can find them - they pop up once in a while but they won't have the fancy colours you want. As for compatiblity well one is from asia and one is from south america ('cept for those few found else where like africa). I guess the usual rules exist - if...

But how would you know in advance it scares the discus if you never used one ;)

They are over-sized eye droppers; i use them to feed some foods to my fishes... Of all the fishes i have only the discus are scared of them. The little 1 inch a. ladisalo loves to come up and lick the food up as it comes out.

wild caught discus are the best - but they are scared of turkey blasters :(

You really can't trim swords; but you can of course replace it with a variety that stays smaller...

You know it is bad enough that everyone has a different language; why do they have to also have different measurements. And yes the tank dimensions are important because if it is closer to what we consider a 20 high then it will be too small for the very active surface fishes kubotai rasbora of...

If you stick with kubotai and kribs you could keep two (m/f) kribs as the kubotai are pretty much surface dwellers - the only real issue is the 20 long is pretty shallow and you would be better off with a 29 for greater separation. But yea any bottom fish like kuhli would be attacked by the...

Personally I rather not live in an environment where i am fearful that someone being or not being elected results in complete internal violent chaos. If we have reached a state which such now exist then those people responsible should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Remember the...

I actually prefer pangio sheffordi as small pangio go and have kept a large group in a 10 gallon but a 24 liter (6 gallon) is just darn small in terms of swimming area.

The ones i got were like the size of a pin; so had to feed them a lot of bbs; i found they really aren't that picky and will eat decapsulate brine shrimp and ground up bug bite just as well.

Yea i've seen that bull**** on a lot of forums; wish i could see ips of some users .
