Hoping she will have eggs with "Yellow" so I will be able to breed the xanthistic ones back !!!

Put a 3000 l/ph pump in my 90 cm. tank. Result next day : eggs of albinos / bronze right at the pump itself hahaha.
They think the rainy season has started.

When did that happen? The new Albino peppered cory. Did you breed them or buy them? Alison

I bought them some weeks ago.
My LFS knew I was in search for some.
There were ten, so I got them all.
A few days later I adopted "Alba" the big female. Was a loner in that tank and I added her to the herd of "normal" ones and "Yellow". Wanna try to breed both (to get te blue eyed "Doubledutchi" hahahha
First have to get rid of some aeneus though. I need roooooom !!!

Kingsday in Holland. Good day for maintenance !! Pepperonis thinking they are fed. They're really pigs !
 
Beautiful girl? Looks like she has a full tummy but is waiting for more. Alison
 
I agree. I think that's her begging stance. One pectoral fin holding herself up while the other is lifted. lol

It is meand to use as a layer under substrate.
Also called French clay to my believe. Containing minerals en high on Iron.

First off, amazing pictures. You must have a pretty good camera to get that kind of resolution. Second, in the picture, above, what kind of substrate is it (if you remember)? It looks like some kind of sand, but with different colors mixed in.

Thanks. It is an Iphone4S-camera hahahaha !!!

The substrate in that tank is "oldschool" gravel. I weekly throw in some leaflitter I collected during fall (mostly beech). The Corys love it !!!
I've gravel in two tanks and PFS in 6 others.

Regards Aad

Oops sorry did you mean the pic with the Sterbais !! That's my son's who lives in Germany.
It is PFS as substrate.
Pics are made with his Samsung Galaxy cellphone

Whichever one I quoted. It looks a lot different than the PFS I have, in the US.

Pretty amazing those are from cell phones. I wouldn't have guessed that.

Made my own "Dutch design" roottabs. They look like dog poop! Hoping my swords will love them
 
They do look a lot better now that you made them into little minI meatballs. Alison
 
What is the other product, the dark brown powder, you're mixing with the laterit?

I used to remove them and put them in a breedertank.
Now I leave them.
But monday 10 will go to a friend (already having 10 hahaha).
 
Your fish look gorgeous. I like the design of your tank aswell. I'll probably add some leaves into my tank...

I am not that fuzzy with temps (my friend neither).
Most are in unheated tanks that differ from 18C in winter uptill 30C in summer (right now).
All my Corys are doing great.
 
I just found this thread, and wow, awesome cories DoubleDutch! I love your tank designs as well.
 
Double Dutch , what is two more tanks, you won't even notice them. In other words get some of each, but if I had to choose, I love the look of the lazer cory cats. Great price by the way. How can you possibly pass that up. Alison
