cory

Hi there fish folks....   I installed 4 skunk corys in my 125l fish tank 2 weeks ago....   The tank has now been running for about a month with a few guppies and a plec.   One of the skunks appears to be losing its colour and not as active as the other 3 - please see pic.....   The ammonia in...

ok well just suddenly my threadfin rainbow died, the day before he seemed perfectly healthy but i just got him 2 days ago from the lfs so maybe something was already wrong with him but either way i couldn't see anything wrong with him but the next day (today) i just noticed my spotted cory was...

Okay, here is the story: Willy the cory got both his eyes torn out. I put him into the 5 gallon to heal. He would do this weird floaty thing where he couldn't stay on the substrate. His head area Would float up, then his tail, then his whole body. I decided to wait it out. He did heal, but this...

I woke up to find one of my albino cory's eye torn out. the eyeball is gone, it is just the flesh sticking out. I can't get a picture. He is in a sorority with 5 other cories, abd acts fine other than being blind in one eye. I have a 5 gallon which is holding my 4 guppy babies, but I think...

Well I have never done this before but here are some pictures of my tank and my fish I am open to any critism I want to improve my tank, it has slowly been improving over the 6months that I have had it The platies The red and black is called Rose and is a female and the calico is a female...

Do you think A pair of german blue rams 6 neon tetras 4 cory cats And 2 ottos would be fine in a 25 gallon tank?

Request Help   One of my two false bandit corys (corydoras melini) can't keep balance in the water, and frequently ends up losing balance and ending up on his side or upside down. He can right himself, and swim about normally, until he stops, at which point he has the issue. Tank size: 30cm x...

Hello,  I just set up a 10 gallon, lightly planted tank last night and have started cycling it today (fishless cycle).    My original plans for the tank were to get a female betta and 8 pygmy cory catfish. However, when I was at my local fish store I noticed that they do not sell the pygmy...

I think I must have overfed them! I noticed that the cories, especially the Hasborus, looks bloated and heavy! I have since fast them for two days now.. Is there anything I can do to help with their bloatedness?? Tks a bundle!

I'm looking to stock my 29 gallon with live-bearers only. I used a site that calculates your filtration and stock that I can't mention here for some reason and saw that I can have 10 Guppies, 10 Endlers, 5 Julii Corys, 5 Otocinclus, and 6 Cherry Shrimp. It says my filtration is 134% and my...

My peppered corydora recently lost his best buddy  It seems like he's grieving, they were very very close. He won't eat much and generally stays to one corner, but he seems very healthy. I plan to get another cory to keep him company, but is there anything else I can do to make him feel better?

Hey there! I'm new (duh!) You can call me HBD :) I'm a crazy animal chick from Idaho USA. I've been keeping fish for 4 years, mostly betrays and livebearers. I currently have 3 male bettas (Happy, Blue, and Dobby), 3 female bettas (Raspberry, R.Q., and Lacey) 15 mixed guppies (wild, endler...

Hello everyone, i am a beginner and i am going to tell you all my plan for the future. So i'll introduce myself, i am a girl from England - Leeds, 17 years old and my name is Antonia :) I have recently been very interested in keeping tropical fish as i find myself being lonely a lot and i want...

Hi there!    So I recently discovered the adorable Clown Loach! I want to set up a community tank with them, here are the fish I was thinking of homing with them:    Clown Loach (3)  Platy (4) Corydora (2) - either dwarf or albino  Bala Shark (3) - yes I am aware balas need a large tank, I will...

I have a 180 litre tank and have 8 bronze cories and 1 black Venezuelan Cory in it (the others died). Feeling a bit guilty and sorry for the Venezuelan and was wanting to get a few more buddies for him but would that be too many for my tank? Have attached a pic of my tank. Currently have 2...

Request Help Tank size: 25ltr pH: 7.5 ammonia:0 nitrite:0 nitrate:20ppm kH:? gH:? tank temp: 26C (Im from Uk, this is celsius)     Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):   The cory looks as tho her skin is peeling from her body, she just lies...

I am so mad right now it isn't funny. Everything with my tank was going smoothly. The Cory's adjusted well to the addition of a male Betta and the Betta had no issue having other fish with him. Yesterday my apartment complex did maintenance in the unit next door and it filled my unit with this...

I recently began stocking fish into my new aquarium to try and keep the bacteria alive and decided on some corys to be the first addition. After 48 hrs in the tank the two "peppered" corys started to really show differing behavior specifically when I fed them. It seems that while one has...

Okay so, I have a betta currently in a 2 gallon tank. He has a mystery snail with him currently, and has shown no signs of aggression. When I show him a mirror he flares, but he doesn't attack the glass or really do much else of anything and then stops flaring once the mirror goes away(in other...

My new albino cory :)

The thing i was talking about is right above the snails which is actually on the glass     I know they are a little blurry as its the best i could do at the moment as it is getting late but i keep finding more and more of these little white dots scattered all over my tank.  There is more and...

One of my cory catfish has swim bladder diease because last night I saw him trying to swim on his side and upside down and when he was on the sand he would roll over to get to places on the sand. I tryed giving him peas but he wouldn't eat and now hes just laying upright on the sand. I'm really...

I have albino cory catfish and I used to have smooth gravel but now I changed to sand because it kept hurting them and one of them is a pure white while the rest of them are a yellow, the white one lays on the sand most of the time away from the group and I never see him/her eat. What is wrong...

Hello! I have owned Corydoras for about six months now, and have come across a weird happening: My emerald cory has a medium sized dark spot near his rear, on his underside/side. This is not affecting his behavior at all, and he is still a happy youngster of a cory. I thought that this might be...

Hey guys,   I got two new cory trilineatus for my trilineatus/betta tank the other day. Both showed signs of stress, as can be expected, but right now I'm watching my original two and one of the new ones chowing down on a sinking shrimp pellet together. However, the other new one isn't fairing...

Hi guys.   Just went to the LFS to pick up some more corys for our tank - we had some already but the numbers weren't enough, yadda yadda. Anyway, they had a donated cory. The guy thought it was a julii, but I don't think so. I want to get him some buddies, but don't know what he is!     Any...

Just a video of a cucumber dinner :)  All comments are welcome...  

I have 4 cories. 2 albino, one leopard and one emerald green.  I noticed little white eggs all over the tank. Some on the front panel of the glass (where the filter flows right over) and then on plants around that area of the tank. I have livebearer Mollies and one pleco in this tank as well. I...

So This is honestly the first time I've hatched any sort of fish egg or bred egg laying fish. I have seven cory catfish in one of my tanks of three different colors, I found some eggs glued to the side of the tank and scraped them off to save them as my female bettas had eaten most of them...

Hi all,   I'm looking to get a few bottom dwellers for my 64l tank. It seems that cories are the most popular option, but I have a couple of queries.   Firstly, group sizes. I've seen some people say that they should be kept in groups of at least 4 and others say you need at least 10 for them to...

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to fishkeeping, I've have a 20 US gal. tank running for about 6 months now and I thought I was doing fairly well. I even managed to get my Platys to produce some fry. When I first stocked my tank I had 2 wagtail platys, a sunburst male and a red female, ans I had 3...

Hey,   I'm planning on setting up a cory tank in a Juwel Rio 240 it's 240 litres that's roughly 66 or so gallons for you Americans. I was thinking about going with black pool filter sand for the substrate. I'm curious to find out other peoples opinions on the best species to get and how many I...

There is a picture of the fish in question as per the link below.  My comment was...   Corydoras adolfoi also known as the Adolfo's Cory is one of my favourite Cory.  Mine does not appear to have the orange on the snout, only behind the black band and when I have looked at pics of this Cory...

So I am considering getting dwarf cory's. Only thing is that I have gravel (pea sizeish pebbles) substrate and some people have said yeah its alright other say no I shouldn't because they prefer sand (which I know) I am considering getting like a mini sandbox for them in one of the areas of my...

I am fairly new to the the hobby and completely new to the forum. i will be getting a new tank due to the $1 gallon sale at the local petco which will either be a 40g breeder or 55 g tank really cant decide. My current tank that i will be transferring from my current tank. A Half Moon/Circle 10g...

All 5 of my pentazona barbs are displaying classic ICH symptoms, I didn't quarantine them because my Quaratine tank has two guppies with ragged tails in. My mistake. The guppy's will be returned to their tank on Thursday so I can isolate tank mates in the scaleless cories need a different...
