I think you've been drinking and then thought it would be a great idea to come online - we've all done it lol.... :good: :lol:

I think we're jumping the gun a bit here folks, this is a single bad delivery from what I believe to be a new supplier. Let me purchase something from the guy as well as I've been talking to Drewry about, then we can pass judgement.

That would be a fantastic gesture Cory_Dad. Pretty please would you be so kind as to take a few pics of your eggs, tell the Corys I will owe them one if successful. :good: I've read about your crisis. Sorry to hear about it. I hope you manage to sort it all out.

Hey drewry, the dealer you're getting your Virginae from is getting some Robineae in today, so I may be getting some of these as well this week!!! :good:

I suspected as much Cory_Dad. Is there anyone out there who may possibly have undertaken such activities or someone you could point me in the direction of?

Congrats DiscusAngel. Sorry to add a question to this, but I was wondering if anyone has posted pics of Cory eggs after each day of being laid, so that those of us who have not yet managed to get any fry can see what we should be looking for and what temps work best with Cory eggs etc etc.

I have read the experiences thread thanks guys as I put (very badly) in my initial post. The zooplus is extraordinarily good value fozziebear - great find.

Hi all, I'm thinking of moving from internal to external filters for my 2 big tanks (see signature for sizes). For the Cory breeding tank I'm after a grade A filtration unit, so what do people recommend? On the whole which is the easiest to use, easiest to set up, easiest to maintain, best...

You go on the confusing Sue, we are all here to learn from those who have more experience than ourselves. Sue it's so funny you've mentioned Angels cos I picked up 24 lovely young ones today for the pricely sum of just £10!!! And I've had to put them in with my peppers and raise the...

Aw whats wrong with the Peppers Sue? Mine are in breeding action as I write this!! Ok not the most beautiful of the Cory world, but I reckon one of the best for a beginner.

Me too drewry, providing your feedback is top notch! My philosophy when buying fish is you may as well make the most of it (providing you have the space of course!) - after a few barren months I'm looking at spending a good £100+ in April.... :crazy:

I'm especially interested in these pics drewry, as I've just chatted to you about, Im expecting to buy a few different Cory types from this supplier next week :good:

As an outsider to this, but as someone who is becoming fascinated with the world of Corydoras, and has knowledge of the extensive research Ian has done on the species, I can safely say that I'm not the only one that would stand in your corner Ian, I think even my limited time on here has allowed...

Erm, I cant see any holes where suction pads would go on the side of the box unit and the black circle things that have come away are stuck to the glass, not the box! Not entirely sure how it has happened to be honest, maybe snails getting stuck where they shouldn't be?!?!?

Hi peeps, My Rekord 60 corner filter unit has come loose. It still manages to keep the heater under the water level, but obviously pops out of the water whenever I remove the hood. Are there any waterproof double sided sticker pads available so I can attach it back to the sides? Or does...

Oh yes Cory_dad, they have good water flow and oxygenation (is that the right word?) system. I will try and get pics up Jollysue, esp my little Pandas when they arrive!!

Well, its been a quiet winter and finally my 14 Peppered Corys are at it. Managed to switch my tanks around a bit and placed 14 eggs on their own in a 25l glass bottom tank. The next 3days cannot go quick enough! Got myself 10 Pandas arriving on Thursday as well, so it may be a busy year for...

After what seemed like an eternity my young female Molly has passed to the other side. We thought she was about to pop, so were keeping an eye on her. When we returned from our sunday afternoon out, she was being harrassed by the males, but not swimming away, just lying there. We moved her to...

Are you kidding me? People really have nothing better to do than be pedantic fools. Just because someone is working and may have kept caps lock on, doesn't mean they are 'shouting' - does it really mean they are shouting or has some sad pathetic loser created this internet world where it is...

Many thanks iSnail, thats excellent news. :good:

Hi all, Do shrimps cross breed at all? I'm hopefully getting some Cherry, Amano and Ghost shrimps this weekend (10 of each at least) and am going to pop them all in the same 60l tank. Are they type specific or can they cross breed? Thanks, Gazo

Hi guys, Is there a thread on here with instructions or similar as to how to create or use a brine shrimp hatchery? Thanks

Hi guys, What do you all feed your Corys? I've been scouring the net looking for different food stuffs. I generally feed a mixture of shrimp, bloodworm and algae pellets. I'm looking for a cheaper alternative than that I'm using. Anyone know the cheapist stockists of Tetra Tabimin or Nutrafin...

I have about 8 clutches of Giant Apple Snail clutches at the top of my Juwel Rio 180. Now there is no protection from the heat of the light at the top where they have laid them. Only the ones behind the light fitting seem to be moist. Whenever I'm in I wet them. I have started leaving the light...

It is a truely amazing thing seeing it for the first time - mine was 3wks ago now, just hoping it gets replicated a few more times! :)

Wow. I've found my first snail eggs batch this morning and its a lovely golden colour, so i'm guessing my Golden Apple Snails have been at it!!! Can't figure out how to put picture on this thread so may try to start another to see if that works :blush: Right figured it out so here goes: -...

Everyone else around here seems to!!! :hey: :lol: :fish: Congrats on the babies!! :good:

Currently changing my tanks substrate from gravel to sand - will try to get oics once its all settled fella ;)

Guys, I've found 2 snail removing liquids in my lfs, but how long will it take before I can put my wanted snails back in? If anyone on here knows that would be great, in case the lfs gives me the wrong info!! Thanks

Well I may as well add myself to the gallery of shame....... :good:

Thanks Miss Wiggle (cant stop singing The Outhere Brothers now - w-w-wiggle-wiggle!!), I love the snail colours and their effortless grace in moving around the tank! I hate all this US/UK Gallons being different as I'm sure it leads to some confusion! :blink: Have been advised that on the...

See my signature Lynda..... :)

I've currently got a nice group of 7 Cory Trilis in my tank and have agreed to take Studz 8 off him this weekend - 5 of which are a breeding group. My question is this - am I overdoing the Cory polulation in my tank? Obv no more after this bunch, but I just love the little critters...

Hi guys, Will baby shrimp of the Amano and Cherry (size currently 1inch) be ok in the main tank in my sig? Currently in the small tank with the Guppy babies, but if they need to grow bigger before moving, I will keep them in there until a good enough size. Thanks, Gazo

Hey Wolf, will this kill all snails, even Apples as well as the more prolific pest variety of Bladders????

Ah maybe a little explanation guys. I have some Apple Snails in there and because they need a ph of 7+ I need to raise it slightly.

Well here's a thing - it seems to be settling now and the redness is slowly disappearing!! Obviously I'm going to check again as soon as I get back home from work in an hour, so fingers crossed for the little trooper!! :good:

How do you raise the pH of your tank without using any of the solutions available? I'm currently at 6.8 and want to raise it to about 7.2. Thanks

Hi guys, I think I know the answer to this, but its hard to just do it. I have a Flame Tetra, who when I bought him did have trouble swimming. He has a slightly bent spine and as such swims at a 35-45 degree angle, sinking then swimming up to get around. I noticed yesterday morning that his...
