C&M (Corydoras & More), I have microworms for the third time now and the guy I got them from this time says to only feed them about 2x per week because they...
i feed them daily to my killi fry right now, and they're growing like weeds. i think the guy has them mixed up with whiteworms. microworms are fine to use as a...
I have only used them twice, and have never seen any analysis of fat content for them. But I only fed 3x a week to fry and 2 a week to adult. ===== I love it...
I have a rubber pleco that has a big white spot on his nose. The eyes are also clouded. I'm figuring some type of fungus. The tank that he is in is all cats...
... You are right. Scaleless fish often don't respond well to medications. It sounds like there might be some damage to the fish.......maybe a scrape from...
Well, Melafix is not really for fungal growths, but it's an antibiotic of amazing abilities. It's made from tea tree oils and smells wonderful to boot. You...
... snip.. Sorry.....I don't medicate unless I have to. I monitor populations closely, and do weekly water changes, and haven't had to use a med in a long time...
How do cats respond to salt? Austin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com...
Austin, All the books and most of the folks on here will tell you that salt is a definitel 'no-no' for corys. Having said that, I put about a teaspoon or two...
... usually not well. It is an unnatural additive for them. Most come from water with almost no salts content. Plus, you would probably kill the fish long...
what's the basics on breeding corys? temp? ph? all that stuff..... i have 2 female aenus and 1 male and 2 albinos (boy and girl). i'm just curious on why...
Toni, I don't worry about all "that stuff" as you call it. :) By the way, c. aeneus and the albinos are exactly the same species, in case you didn't know....
i have two females that are six years old, the other male is about 4. my two albinos are young. i just bought them about 3 months ago very small from...
Also, how can you be sure of their genders? In my opinion, it takes a very skilled fish hobbiest to differentiate the genders of c. aeneus. I still can't. I...
they are in a 30 gallon with guppies, swordtails, platies, tetras..... the tank is not overcrowded either and they have always been in a big tank. i feed...
i'm not Absolutely sure of their genders although from what i've heard about shape and size of fish i've tried to identify them. does that make sense....hehe....
Not a whole lot I can add at this point. Aeneus are very easy to sex. Females are larger, heavier, and fatter across the pectoral area when viewed from above....
I'm trying my hand at building a tank from scratch, as I found all this plate glass at a garage sale for almost nothing. This was my first attempt at silicone...
... snip.. That's the really neat thing about silicone sealer. When it is wet, you can move it around to smooth it, etc. Once it is dry, there is no solvent in...
Thanks, My tank is mostly cats with a few others. I'm not sure if they've spawned before. I figured that they have and the eggs just get eaten. Do they breed...
... snipppp.... Cory cats are polyploidal, meaning the species have differing numbers of chromosomes. Mother nature did this to prevent inter breeding between...
Hi Mark: Responding to your salt article in an abstract way here...we have 4 bandits, 2 diamond tetras, and HAD two black mollies in our 10-gallon tank. Came...
Rich, about the bandits (i'm going to assume that you're refering to c. metae, as that is usually their common name). i have a breeding group of 4 metae, one...
... snip.. There are a lot of corys that can be called bandits, due to the eye mask, so I am not sure which ones you have. If they are the smaller metae types,...
HI Everyone, I have both bronze and peppered corys, and the peppered ones don't seem to be growing like the bronze. They are also much less 'cheeky',...
Jane, Just as you wouldn't expect every dog to be the same size, nor behave the same, just because they are the canine species, you cannot expect every cory...
Amy, many thanks for the reply.....generous amount of info! Re: c. metae- yeh, the tank is pretty bright. They do have a driftwood cave, in which I've piled ...
Les: Many thanks for that extensive and informative reply! Yes, we do have metae. We really love the little guys but weren't aware until now tank brightness...
