I keep them unheated (17/18C in winter up to 30C (few days) in summer de4464ce3bb117b00977a6ef6c9ae7be.jpg
 
So if one wanted to keep them in a more constant environment, a tank that stays around 75 most of the year and gets up to 78 in the summers would be ok?

lasers are really nice...just thought they'd need cooler water if not they'd definitely be an option

Aren't lasers a variant of bronze Corys? Meaning they are fine in warmer waters.
I might be thinking of albinos.

the typical albino is a variant of the bronze. But there are other species where albinos occur as well. But lasers I thought were ones that did better in cooler waters. Though I'm not familiar with corydoras outside of the commons (aeneus, peppered, salt and pepper, sterbai, etc)
 
Thanks. These guys will be in my 75 tank (BDBS) with a mated pair of Gold Severums and a few dojos so I try to keep the tank around 23-24C 8-9 months of the year but it gets up to 25-26C in the summer months. Those concolors are calling my name though...especially since I've seen yours. Got any other favorites you think I should consider?

Concolor are nice and chunky Corys.
There are sooooo many though.
Is it.allowed to point you to another forum? If not I PM you.
Lee overthere took the effort to make a thread about a lot of different Coryspecies and collected a lot of available vids per thread.
 
Oh that would be nice. I've pointed folks to other forums before without retribution so I think it's ok.

I know there are a ton but since you have a lot of experience with them I didn't know if you had some that just stuck out in your mind.

As said I have the quite common ones.
A bigger one that I think is very nice is C.pantenalensis
 
Have you ever thought about keeping the black morph of C. Schultzei? (I think also called black venezuelans.) tyguy7760
(Not my tank, current residents of a LFS)

Funny thing is this man made SchultzeI black has nothing to do with C.venzeulanus nor with the country.
They should have been called black germaniI then hahahaha.

Though I don't like "manmade" fish it is a nice Cory.

Onr of my aeneus looks a bit like one.1ab4d942bb54a08c94c6cd7583242fcb.jpg

It's kinda hard to see a red breast at the angle of the lighting!

Did you get to keep those CPDs (and crosses) that you were holding for him?.... or did he remember and take them back?
Next time, offer to hold on to some of his fish in exchange for keeping half or something, Just kidding!

You should definitely give it a try! JIC, your son comes back for them you can just hand them over like nothing happened, and secretly grow out some fry.

Just wondering, is all your lighting DIY?
Click to expand...
No, some tanks have a lid (T8 4000K tubes from the hardwarestore).
The lidless ones have a office-lightunit above them (T5 4000K). Plants do well and I love the light
 
Ian Fuller would be mad if he saw the albino cory eating the sprout lol!
