Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Denman has some other issues going on so in order not to confuse questions and answers between members I've moved your question to a thread of it's own.

I'm not very good you ID'ing fish, but it looks like some type of cory. What are you feeding him?

It looks like one of the cories to me. Not sure which one though, it is hard to tell for me from the pic. Here is a link to several pics - maybe someone else can narrow it down: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog...genus_id=1#470

Try feeding it shrimp pellets, bottom feeder tablets, or even an algae wafer. Cories are scavengers that like to be kept in groups of at least three.

Judging from the size of those wiskers, and comparing a few pics on the web, it looks like a USD catfish which should be a scavenger and eat most anything ... live food, frozen food, freeze dried etc....

Is the water OK? ... is there reason for him/her to be stressed?
