So sad news for me, i can't have a tank larger than 80x35x35 due to weight restrains. I wonder if this will even work. Is it still worth moving my 12 sterbais and rest of my pygmy corydoras (and bump them up to like 25) or should I leave my sterbais in the 360 liter, where they are now...

I started with that, searching for "best tank setup for corydoras, best biotope, sand substarte, corydoras how to" and oh wow such wrong answers I saw the amazon ones already, will check out the others :) thanks

Sounds nice. Would you have a picture in mind? A rough one even, so I can imagine it better Thanks

I have been toying about moving my corydoras into a new tank and I spoke with someone and he suggested a special way to setup a tank for corydoras to enjoy I would appreciate some other sources though. What the person suggested was long, shallow tank, sand ofcourse, built into dunes, leaf...

I am afraid it will end that way :) for now i am offering it and awaiting quarantine

So, a person was getting rid of their fish, and they said they have a sterbai, and hey, I have a sterbai, so I said I would take it. Guess what, it is not a sterbai. It is a monster fat egg ladden pepper corydoras, that is no kidding 8cm at least. All my sterbai are 5cm max, they look like her...

Since I feed microworms, mine spend most of my time upside down, mouth pointed to the ground, watching, watching, watching and then darting in :) They are a brand of special something. not sure what though :D

I would be wary mixing embers and super small rasboras. Embers are such gluttons, eating fast and anything. The pygmies will have a hard time finding food, with embers in there, and the much smaller much less boisterous rasboras will be hard pressed to fight the embers. Wouldnt it look better to...

I am a bit worried about your badis. I recently got five hysginon ones and they are slow eaters. Most of the other fish i have with them (clown killifish, least rasboras, pygmy corydoras) eat faster than they notice. They spend a lot of time picking at the substrate, so i feed microworms and...

I have seven of them

So I lost another sewellia, the female purchased in June. It was active, feeding and dead in the morning. I have a remaining male but I will never buy a sewellia again as I don't understand why I am loosing them. I wonder if there is some other fish I could put in the tank. The tank is around...

If I feed heavily enough, even my pearl gourami will eat them, rummy nose tetras too. Bolivian rams are confused what the others are eating. And if they fall (and they do fall to the substrate eventually), the corydoras have a lovely time eating them. They work best for small fish though, 3-4 cm...

I do it the other way, I prepare a new medium and only spoon some of the worms from the top layer from the old one and do a full replace. Works as well :) Oh I also have them on top of one of my fishtanks with light from the window and light from the tank light blasting into them, no real...

Ok change of plans. I was checking my infusoria in a bucket culture, I have only a small bucket as it was my first time attempting. I am furiously trying to remember from what tank did I took the moss out of, as it was sitting in a box for a while, as I didnt want to throw it away, I used it in...

Ok I have added a seasoned sponge to the air line, and a handfull of salvinia, now what other plants, just more java moss or an actual anothr plant? I will look into a larger container, for now the fish are in, the plants are in, will leave them for a week once I put more plants in. and will...

Oki, thank you, will go hunt for my salvinia and other plants What about the leaves, is it worth it? Thanks

So, I have had three pairs of clown killifish since last summer, they successfully spawned and one batch (only two fry) survived. Since then nothing, At the beginning I fed the surface way more when I expected fry, so it was easier, since then abundance of ramshorn snails, addition of shrimp and...

sorry for hijacking, I laughed a bit, since I saw potatoes for like 3 euro per kilogram the other day in the store ( some fancy one, regulars are around 2 euro or just under) and I was like "pennies, sure" :)) I also didnt know what instant oats was, but it is instant oatmeal, that makes more...

Surprisingly I dont have a journal on this tank, though I have posted many questions over the years, as I have had many problems with the tank the tanks dimensions are 120x50x60 cm (lxwxh) and in october 2021 I remade it from a shelldweller tank to a "south american fish " tank which I since...

Can this decline be sped up by a cold water change? I always do a cold one on most of my tanks. On Thursday i was watching the tank closely, nothing. Today morning a slow water change, now i see another minnow (gold again) declining.

I never myself used mashed potatoes because in my mind there is a lot of salt in the mix and additives an i believe oats are cleaner, given the fish eat what the worm eats. Also buying instant mashed potatoes is almost impossible here. Breadcrumbs don't gross me out but the whole mix will smell...

They do fall to the bottom so are easy to eat and i do feed my pygmy corydoras with them too. And the culture is super easy. Oats work better for me than bread / breadcrumbs and i use normal yeast, not dried. And i do not poke holes in the lid, I just open it every day/every other day and blow...

Hi, does anyone have experience with these or the other badis? I have them only for a short while, but one of them recently changed from pale red to stripped color and I wonder if that is like a stress response? I dont know enough about them to judge this. Thanks Pictures of the "normal"...
