My Peppered Cories came out of a tank with light coloured gravel and into my tank with black gravel and they got alot darker as well so I wouldn't worry about it too much I think they are just trying to blend in with their enviroment, but keep an eye on them just in case.

I had exactly the same problem with rosie barbs attacking my pepper cories, they had lived quite happily together for over two months then one day they just turned on the cories and kept nipping the top of their fins. I have no idea what started the problem, the only thing I can think of is...

Thanks Annastasia I'm not worried though they look gorgeous :wub: just curious thats all

My latest batch of Guppy fry were born yesterday but unlike all the others about six of them were born half black, they are the normal drab grey colour from the head back but about half way down their bodies it looks as if someone has taken a black marker pen to them they are jet black. Now I...

Mine took between 4 and 5 days to hatch so you may well get some littleuns very soon Good luck

I'm no expert but I had a similar experience with my pepper corys being attacked by a small rosie barb and I had to go and get a seperate tank for them, my cats also looked like they had a fungus around the base of the fins but after I moved them it cleared up on its own and now they are a lot...

Cheers for the info guys very helpful

Thank you for all your help they hatched this morning and are still hatching now, watching them scoot around with the eggs still covering there heads and bumping into each other is the funniest thing I have seen for ages :lol: I have to give my special thanks to Lynz, Inchworm and Alex and...

Thanks Inchworm I have seperated as many eggs as I can into another empty tank so hopefully I will have a fair few lttle peppers scooting around over the next day or so (fingers crossed) :thumbs:

OK some of the eggs have fungus on them but they are in the middle of clusters of eggs that look ok I have moved as many of the good eggs (to a seperate tank) to stop the fungus spreading through the whole batch but I,m a bit concerned that if I take the good ones that are actually stuck to the...

My Pepper Cory eggs started out like the lighter coloured one but today they seem to be looking more like the darker one, could yours be from two seperate spawns? Maybe some are milk chocolate and some dark chocolate :lol:

Thanks Inchworm but I'm not sure my daughter will be overly chuffed at me taking her guppie tank apart would moving the eggs to the other tank be out of the question then? I wouldn't want to damage them but if its quite easy/safe to do, it does save the arguement with my 5 year old!

They are completely white at the moment maybe they wern't fertilized

Cheers Lynz My eggs are white now and they were when the female cory was sticking them to the side of the tank does this mean they are no good then?

Hi all I have 3 Peppered corys which I recently moved from my barb tank into my daugters guppie tank (approx. 8 gallons) as they were being picked on by an over zealous rosy barb. Yesterday afternoon I noticed some white eggs on the glass as I watched over the next hour or so they deposited...

Thanks for your reply the danios are only the small varieties (zebras and leopards) I must admit to knowing that putting such active fish together was a risk but I always thought that the tigers would be the problem and that Rosie Barbs were quite a peaceful and if anything the corys hide under...

I have had 3 Peppered Corys for about 3 months now and a couple of days ago I noticed that they had some white marks on the top of their fins, at first I feared that maybe it was fin rot as thier fins were looking a little bit torn but I kept an eye on them and soon noticed that the smallest...

Well the max fill line on my rekord 96 leaves about half an inch of the filter box slots above the water line

I have a juwel 96l and have had similar problems with fish getting into the filter if you look where the pipe comes out of the filter box there are gaps around it i wrapped insulating tape around mine to decrease the size of the gap but dont make it fit too tightly as you will need to take it...

Thanks for that the link was helpful I dont have a hospital tank, do you think it would be safe to leave her in with her mates or would that be risking others getting an infection if it bursts.

Best Picture I can get sorry

Help I have a 22 gallon tank which has been up and running for 6 months now with very few problems but recently I noticed that the biggest and most dominant tiger barb has developed a lump but I have no idea what it is whether I should seperate her or which medication to use if any. There are...
