Hi all! Last year when I first got into the hobby, the first fish I bought was a group of 6 Pygmy Cories, and since then I’ve fallen in love. I bought another 7, and over the past few months I’ve finally been able to breed them. Their adorable fry have finally started to show their adult colors...

I had them in a 20 gallon after not having any success in a 40, but you’re probably right about the “multi species breeding tank.” I thought it might be an interesting experiment considering that I don’t have many tanks, but it definitely didn’t seem to work out.

Unfortunately, apart from other community tanks, I don’t. I have a bare bottom shrimp tank, and I may be able to move the shrimp into something else, but I’d like to see if I have other options first.

Hi everyone! After just about a year of trying, I finally got my beloved Bolivian Rams to spawn. Right now, they’re in a multi-species breeding tank with Elegant cories, a juvenile apisto pair, and about 5 endler’s. I absolutely love this fish, and want as many of the fry to survive as possible...

Hi all! I decided to set up a new breeding project for some Bolivian Rams that I borrowed from one of my community tanks. I’m planning on adding some dither fish, as Lowell’s Fish slab on YouTube recommended. He used emperor tetras, and I would like to use either Cory cats or Black neons...

No worries about the long reply! I think that for now, I’m going to do a water change right before each time I feed, both to remove any uneaten food, waste, or GIHs. This seems very interesting to me though, so I may experiment with it in the future. Thanks for the info! A few days ago, I...

I’ve removed about half of the eggs so far, and I’ll see if I can hatch some BBS. Also, didn’t know about the growth hormones affecting water quality, so thanks for letting me know!

I’ve been meaning to get some vinegar eels, but unfortunately there aren’t any shops near me that carry them, and I haven’t been able to find them online. I’ll see if I can find some BBS eggs, as with those I should be able to order them online. Using snails to remove any fungus/dead eggs sounds...

Hi everyone! I returned home from a day trip, and I turned on the lights for my Pygmy Cory (C. pygmaeus) breeding tank, and the walls were COVERED in eggs. I counted over 70, and I want to make sure that as many will make it as possible. I’ve tried breeding these guys before, but I’ve only had...

Honestly, neither really looks too bad. If you want them to look fuller, you can plant more heavily. Also, I do want to mention that 2 dojo loaches seems like a lot for a 30. A single dojo loach needs about a 40 gallon, with multiple doing better in a 60-100g tank, and the tetras might do better...
