Re: EMERGENCY with scleromystax barbatus

Hi, didnt the place you bought them tell you that Barbatus are a COLD water fish not tropical?
I have mine in a seperate tank to my other fish @ 18-20 degrees celsius.Any warmer the most healthy looking fish will die.

Re: Corydoras longipinnis (Cw003) = Cory paleatus?

The longfin have long pectoral fins too unlike Longpinnis.You cant see their pectorals in that photo,but to take more I'd have to transfer them to a display tank as theyre in a 54litre tank now.

Re: Corydoras longipinnis (Cw003) = Cory paleatus?

These are my C.Paleatus long-fin babies,they're about 2mths old.
Longfin have far more exagerated fins than C.Longpinnis.
Tyne Valley Aquatics have the longfin paleatus,aeneus and panda,I'm sure Richard could get you C.Longpinnis too

C.Sterbai info

Hi,I was wondering whether anyone can give me some info on living/water conditions for C.Sterbai please? I'm sure I read here that they can withstand higher temperature than some other corys.But when I went to the catelog theres no info plus it says no one has bred them yet.

Re: Info for Cat-elog

And yes my C.Robinae perked up immediately when I added flow and extra air.Now they are constantly on the go or hovering in the water jet...also their colour changed from very red heads and gills to more healthy looking colour like in the cat-elog.

If I'm not being too presumptous(being a noob)could I possibly get someone to add some info to C.Robinae,Sc.Barbatus please.There may be a few more I dont own too eg C.Natteri. Anyway I recently acquired 10 Sc.Barbatus and 10 C.Robinae......Both species were placed in mature tanks of their own apart...
