    Trying To Breed My Cories

    Cories can go hyper when meds are in the tank - not because they're happy,cos its stressing them... You sure it is whitespot? - when i first had sand,i thought the corys had whitespot,it was in fact grains of sand stuck to them :rolleyes: :lol:

    Trying To Breed My Cories

    Very difficult if they're youngsters,has you know males are smaller & slender, another give away is they tend to sit flat,i.e bellies are usually flat compared to the round females.

    Trying To Breed My Cories

    They look mostly females to me also,i can't see the back one though, they are very stocky with rounded curved bellies which is usually the give away :)

    Are Sterbai Slow Growers?

    Its possible,they could of been stunted early on,this will keep them smaller than average or could just be slow developers... Your temperature was okish at 26 ,Sterbai's prefer and can tolerate higher temperatures 26- 30 degrees,but has you have bronze i wouldn't go over 26 degrees :good:

    Nice Cory Suggestions

    Ideally you should expand on the corys you do have, upping the numbers of each group - some recommend minimum 6 to each species. What size tank do you have?

    Panda Corys Barbells

    Barbels vary in length, but short barbels is often,poor water quality,poor diet, substrate which is sharp,gravel being a main culprit, especially corys digging into it can cause them to wear down. Most of my pandas have long barbels and they're mixed sexes.

    Which Cory Is This?

    Pygmies can be quite hard to get hold of at LFS, although maidenhead aquatics(uk) do get them in from time to time, habrosus dont usually get much bigger than 1.5 inches. How many do you have?
  23. Harlequins

    Which Cory Is This?

    Habrosus cory,also known has salt & pepper cory,they are dwarf corys,but grow bigger than pygmies.

    Unfortunately raising corys is more complex than rearing livebearers, livebearers tend to thrive without having to do to much for them except feed & w/c's ,i suppose thats why theres so many of them around :rolleyes: :lol: Basically when i feed my fry,has mentioned earlier i use a turkey...

    Trying To Breed My Cories

    Personally i would up the numbers to 6 anyway, then hopefully the 2 babes will make it to adulthood, although from this stage they wont breed until they're mature, so possibly a good 12 months away anyway...

    Trying To Breed My Cories

    2ft tank would be best if you got the room... length is better has corys will have more floor space, it is a time consuming game and like you said 6 months minimum before lfs would take them obviously dependant what size they are also... Ideally if you want to bred them,then putting the corys...
