Bronze and albino corys are the same fish, corydoras aeneus. The albino form is a recessive gene. If you have a bronze one with both alleles for colouration...
It's been awhile since I've been back to this board since I actually no longer have my coeries. My boyfriend, Jeff is actually the one who posted, earlier...
Well for SURE you don't have to worry about too many babies. Even if they should hatch (and not get eaten in the egg stage), they will in all likelihood be...
Hi - sorry about the subject- couldn't resist it!! Does anyone have any experience on salt concentration and cories? I've found lots of conflicting advice on...

No problem. Jeff plans to remove the parents. We were beginning to wonder if they were cannibals...lo.l In corydorasandmore@yahoogroups.com, Mark Brooks...

Just wondered if any UK members are interested in 6 Congo Tetras (believed to be all females). They are healthy, but in my beginners enthusiasm I overstocked...
Not to be a stinker, but many people here lnow my opinion of adding salt to an aquarium. This is fine to add marine salts to a marine tank. It is okay to add...
Lest any of you should think b. macracanthus (clown loaches) do not do exactly as they are purported to .... Some of you may remember me rambling on about the...
