Terrible pics but I just picked up 8 Bronze corys or as my store calls them “green corys”. Lack of light in my QT but love these little guys! They have already settled in and are cruising all around the tank. Love seeing them explore and can’t wait to get them in the 29 gal
Here's my C. Leucomelas that was sold to me as a "spotted cory" at a Petco. I was buying some false juliI when I spotted him by his lonesome so I bought him home.
Just moved my 8 bronze from QT to the main tank and I think they are loving it. These two stopped digging for me to snap some pics, I feel like they’re thinking “oh look it’s the lady who feeds us!” They’re so cute digging in the sand I don’t think I will be getting much done today as I am going to be watching them!
Corydoras Pygmeaus shoaling (I would go so far as to call it schooling aka swimming in sync) with Corydoras aeneus (albino and bronze) upon introduction to the tank. I’ll be interested to see if the behavior continues or is just part of the groups defense behavior as they acclimate. Sorry it’s so blurry (they are quick little buggers. If the behavior continues I will get better pics and maybe start a thread because from all I’ve researched corydoras are extremely picky about species. I understand my albinos and bronze will shoal because they are the same species but this just seems odd/the coolest thing I’ve ever accidentally done.
LOOKIE!! My bigger one is actually out and about!! This is three. The other big one is inside the ship piece, and the other small one is chilling out. The 3 albino are all over the place.
My panda corys are finally in the parent community tank! I'm a little bummed out because with it being a very small spawn (11 eggs I just so happened to notice on the glass) and it being the first spawn of egg laying fish I've ever raised, I only had 3 survivors. Technically 5, but one was super tiny (like grain of rice size and not growing) and another was super small and couldn't swim right. So I culled those two. Anyway, pictures! They went in the community tank at exactly 9 weeks old.
Just got a picture of a couple of them hanging out with some adults.
The BCLIAS.......otherwise known as The Bronze Cory Lunatic Insomniac Acrobatic Society who reside in my aquarium and keep everyone up at night and then have the nerve to doze off during the daytime
Been a while since I posted here. I've been busy breeding C Sterbai.
This group of 25 went to DioAquatics
Moving these guys out of the breeding box to a 5.5g (the tank above).
Another batch.
I read somewhere that if you take the eggs, there's better hatch rates when you stick them to the wall of the container. I understand now after a few spawns that it's because the fry can get stuck with the shell on its head and can't get it off. I used a dropper to quickly suck and squirt them out to help get the shell off.
I've been getting about 100 eggs every 2 weeks when the breeding group is conditioned with frozen foods. I also get better hatch rates and survival rates when the group is fed well.
Some of my babies Here's Whiskey, the one-whisker trilineatus. I bought him like this, I felt sorry for him. I don't think he'll ever have any growth because I can't even see a stub, but he's been going good 3 months now!
Some of my Sterbai. I think I have 2 ladies out of 5, recently they are getting a little plump.
I do not know for sure if these cories are accurately labeled by the LFS, but they sure were adorable, sitting in a row as I walked by the tank. I almost took them all home.
The LFS said the supers would be done with quarantine today. So I will bring him my "Highlander" FowlerI and get a herd. I do not want the FowlerI killing any of them, supers are big but pointy face cories can be hateful. The FowlerI can go pick a fight with his remaining barbatus.
I have waited more than a year for him to get more in. I'm too old to be this excited about fish.
In a sad note the last barbatus at the LFS is now dead.
This pic may look weird but the power supply on my Beamworks gave up the ghost after 11 months had to used a flashlight to take the pic. I took a pic of one of the other 4 but my finger covered more than half the lens.
They are not Bronchis but they are still beasts. so I
Here r a couple brand new additions to my Cory fry grow up tank greens and peppers... still haven’t seen any eggs from my albinos and probably won’t seeing there in with my tiger barbs
OMG it worked thanks I don’t know what I was doing wrong!!!!! Oh by the way a yo-yo loach got in one of my pics I must sing praise this fis for solving my snail problem!!!!
