sorry if i should'nt be posting this here,mods plz delete if you need to i am looking for 1 or 2 sexed male bronze,peppered or albino cory's so i can try and breed them i live in sunderland northeast england and can pick up from the surrounding area if anyone has any they would like to sell...

i have 2 bronze corys, no idea what sex they are but at least one is female as i found eggs stuck to the glass of my tank yesterday. my question is do corys lay/spawn eggs if they are not fertilized? thanks

there is only 1 breed of turtle that don't eat fish,not sure what its called but its not a common pet turtle like sliders or maps

thanks for the replies, i am goin to get another 2 or 3 corys soon as i heard they liketo be in groups. really nice fish too.

soz to mini hijack your thread, but are cory's well known for eating guppy fry, i am trying to breed guppies and i am going to just let the mothers give birth in my tank that holds 4 female guppies and 2 corys and a BN plec so basically will the 2 cory's eat alot of the fry? thanks

been keeping a close eye on her today and she hasn't been near the filter all day1 any ideas guys/gals?

what should i do? she's defo pregnant as her belly is rounded just not squared off, all the other fish are acting fine

i have a bunch of 4 female guppies, 2 i have had for meybe 6 weeks, 2 about 2 weeks, there all pregnant. one of the older guppies that i have had for a roughly 6 weeks is about 2" in length, i bought the older guppies and younger guppies from my LFS. over the last 5 days she spends nearly all...

congrats, still waiting here, my 2 older guppies are looking very big, one is particular is huge but not squared off although the gravid spot is very large and pure black!

think i'll go with the breeder.afer a lot of reading i think its more like 2 weeks till my guppies drop, nice dark gravid spot but their bellies are not as big as pictures i have seen,although this will only be their 1st or maybe 2nd drop.

thanks guys, if i can catch the female close to labour i'll attempt the breeder, if she aborts through stress its a lesson learnt. if i dont catch her and she gives birth in the tank i'll catch as many fry as i can and put them in the breeder for a week or so

i have a 60 litre tank that contains 4 pregnant guppies, and 2 cory's 1 of the pregnant guppies looks fairly close to dropping (maybe a week) i have 2 fairly large artificial plants at one end of the tank for the fry to hide in when they arrive, i don't want to loose a great deal of my fry to...

yeah i am quite excited, i got the bug as i found 1 fry in my 4 foot tank, it was around for about a week and then vanished,maybe it got eaten or took into one of my filter or lost in a partial water change i had no males at the time just 3 females, one must have been pregnant already, so i got...

yeah, once i have some fry i will post here, all my females are pregnant but my 2 biggest look ready to drop anyday, nice drak gravid spot, big round bellies, just waiting for them to square off, they are a little squared but not enough i think. i'll miss my plec but sure i will be happy with...

don't you need some type of breeder cave to breed plecos?

cant really fit anything bigger than the 4 x 2 x 2, but would still have to give the gibby away, just spoke to a guy at mylocal petshop, said he'd swap me a couple albino bristenose plecs for my gibby so i'll do that, shame though i love my gibby!

i didn't think he would outgrow the 4 foot??? suppose i'll sell him when he gets too big for that then, shame as he's my favourite already! males have been moved out, hopefully i will have some babies soon! can you recommend a big pleco type fish that will get big but no too big for my 4 foot tank?

the tank buster i think,max size is 50cm's also known as sailfin pleco, its ok he is only 2 inches at the mo and when he outgrows the 60 litre he will be moved into my 180 litre (48" x 16" x 15") will remove the males today, is there a rough temp where i can definately get some males? temp is...

hi i am new to tropical fish keeping, and decided i would start breeding guppies as apparently its very easy! i have 4 females and 2 males,and a small gibbicep pleco that hides all the time in a 60 litre breeding tank, 2 of my females look heavily pregnant all the fish are in the tank together...
