Bigger ones are probably female :good:

Sounds pretty normal to me :)

Thanks Snazy :) I do miss my babies,bless them... The albinos have been resting for the past month,so i expect they might start up again soon... :rolleyes:

Firstly the crabs,need source of air and keeping them under that underwater habitat won't be good for them & roaming around the tank will be even worse for your fish... 2 options - keep the 10 gals for the crabs,i may be wrong but i do think that they need slightely brackish water (salty).not...

You could always get a spare tank anyway :P :lol:

Insults were not intended, but when peeps see incompatible fish in a small tank it makes them see red.We all learn the hard way,some more than others,unfortunately you happen to trust and listen to an lfs,i'm surprised your fish survived this far... The best advise given is to return the fish...

has mentioned w/c are not necessary during a fishless cycle unless problems occur... Too much ammonia above 5ppm will cause the wrong bacteria to grow,a stalled cycle is where the ph drops below 6. both these may be remedied with w/c's. But if alls well leave alone & you dont need to worry...

+1 Waterchanges, keep the sand clean and water quality good,they should slowly grow back,has long has there's no redness around the barbel ends/mouth they should be ok :)

Well after all the exploits of my Corys,i thought for future reference i would put them all on the same thread,for others to read if they want for pics of eggs & fry :) Plus i like to watch the vids of my babes :blush: :rolleyes: Enjoy :) Trilineatus cory log Albino cory log Panda cory...

Either a Troll or hasn't researched before buying......... :angry:

Yep Harleys are a good choice,mine are very placid,or even the smaller version like the Galaxy rasboras,would look good in a large shoal :) I also have ember tetras in my smaller cory tank and they're fine :)

Hi & welcome :) Basically your tank inmates are no-where near compatible or suitable all together for a 10 gal tank......... Fish stays in,remove water from the tank with a hose or gravel cleaner,then replace with fresh dechlorinated water. But my advise would be to sort out your stocking first.

Basically the smaller skinny ones are probably the males,chubby ones the females :) Its more than likely the eggs would have been munched,if they've spawned once,they probably will again :good: Have a read here at my Albino spawning log,shows eggs/t position & fry :) Good luck :good:

Just thought i'd share some of my cory cats with you :) My 3 tanks hold mainly corys which are 15 Trilineatus(kept 12 offspring)16 Pandas(kept 7 offspring)15 pygmys(kept 6 offspring)6 Gold Lasers(have bred)6 Black schultzi,6 Skunks,habrosus(have bred)3 Albinos(kept 2 bronze & 1 albino...

Thanks :) - Good luck with yours,i hope your habrosus are doing the bizz,their eggs are smaller than the tri's :nod:

Well 3 eggs saved,several empty shells spotted...hmm just have to wait now...

Rub the sand between your fingers,if it feels abrasive to you,then it may harm your corys

Well one of the newbies is in spawning mode... :rolleyes: just found a solo egg....

Awww thats a shame Baccus,i hope yours breed soon :good:

Could be various reasons why it died... Whats your readings for ammonia/nitrite etc? Whats your temp? How big is your tank & what other inmates in there?

Good price :good: Habrosus get bigger than pygmys,i would say a 25l is pushing it once they get bigger,my habrosus are around 1.5 inches and pretty chunky. Have fun with your new additions :)

Too cute :) I have habrosus, mines a chunky 1.5 inch now,i assume fully grown :lol: i was very tempted the other day to add more when i seen loads of these in MA at 6 for £12.... which for them is cheap :rolleyes: :lol:

+1 , if you do end up with sand in your bucket,just rinse it off and pop it back in the tank :)

I know it sounds daft question, but does the tetras every go near the sand?? :unsure: I'm always fretting over the corys especially the blacks,only to find they have sand stuck to them :rolleyes:

Bit harsh ehh Tizer :unsure: Fish are awe - Has your cory still got fungal type on its mouth?? Unless you treat it,it'll get worse until the cory dies... If it is fungus,try separating it and treating it with an anti fungal treatment,interpet does one of these. Do regular waterchanges to...

Thanks Baccus :) they've all settled well :nod:

There's always one :rolleyes: my 7 babes are with 9 adults and it gets quite manic when they all start flying around :lol:

8.2 is fine for most fish,no need to lower it unless your fish are unhappy. A stable ph is better than one that fluctuates up & down,which would be what happens if you put anything in there to lower it.

Having the metae's (bandits) spawning but eggs not be viable,either immature corys or infertile males...not sure... :unsure: So i have upped their numbers with hopefully different males, so 3 new additions to join the 6 i have :good: Here's they are -

Well done :hyper: :good: I think mine are all on vacation atm :rolleyes: :lol:

Must have greedy fry then :lol: :lol: My albino fry was 1 week younger than the panda fry but grew twice has fast :rolleyes:

Well i've moved the 5 panda youngsters in the main tank along with the other 2 juvi's :good: Within a few mins all 7 babes were shoaling around the back of the tank :wub: bless them. Will try to get a video later :nod:

Its possible they could be older siblings,even a week makes a difference in fry size... I may be wrong,only time will tell when they get older :nod:

I was reading up on breeding adolfi corys,when i came across an interesting fact that the adolfi cory has a silver ring apparent around its eye when they're due to spawn!any other time they're black... Well who would have spotted that... :good:

Lovely pic,well done :) Its always sad when fry pass over :sad: - i lost 4 wee panda fry in the last few weeks,but the only surviving albino fry is thriving in there :unsure:

Such a cutie :wub: Going by the markings showing,i would say peppered fry :)

Fish would though :lol: :lol:

Currently have: 55 gals - community although mainly corys 16 gals - corys 7 gals - cory fry tank plus 20 gals & 10 gals unused in the shed... Well jealous of peeps with big tanks :grr: :lol:

Mine are very keen on de-shelled cooked broad beans :rolleyes:

I've used liquidfry products on livebearers & corys in the past, but personally i find they pollute the water quickly,they're ok for emergency for the first few days with tiny fry. I've also try firstbites,again does build a scum up around the tank,the best i've found & i personally use for my...
