Hi Mamabon; You could try a very mild antibiotic such as Melafix which is a leaf extract or Stress coat which is used as a water conditioner with Aloe. The injury may heal on its own as long as you don't have rough gravel, which could further injure that delicate little mouth. Don P.S. to upload a p...

I have both a facebook account and ..here it comes, yes, I do own a iphone too. :-p We had this very discussion on Corydoras World and Ian asked these very questions... The truth is, the Corydoras information sites on facebook are VERY basic and unfortunately are cluttered by super basic disinformat...

Welcome!
Many very knowledgeable people here who are more than happy to answer questions and discuss related topics.

I'm not much of an angler anymore but years ago I lived in North Pole, Alaska.
The biggest fish I have landed was a 249 lb Halibut in south east Alaska
in the 80's. Because, I know there are large "Cat" fans here is why when I saw this
article I thought I'd share.

I came across this article and thought it was interesting:

Hi MCampos I have to agree with the two other posters to your thread who by the way are much more knowledgeable than I on many of the Corydoras species. :-b The Elegans group look similar in many respects and I attempted to see where they are collected based on your location. According to PC; Corydo...

Hi MCampos,
Did you collect these fish or buy them?
The location for where they were collected will help you further narrow which species
within the "elegans group".
Nice fish regardless,
Don

Hi, Your fish look like C. elegans to me.

Hi rmc, Yes they are amazing little fish! I just took a few pictures on my cell phone(Sorry for the quality) but, without taking the filter apart here are some eggs laid tonight on the outlets of the HOB filter, this is a two outlet filter and they swim up stream to lay eggs its very comical to watc...

I hope you don’t mind another Aspidoras fan joining in on the conversation; I keep; Aspidoras spilotus, Aspidoras albator and Aspidoras pauciradiatus. The albator and spilotus are good spawners and I even find eggs in the hang on the back filters, how they manage to get into the filter, lay eggs and...

Narwhal72, Thank you for the book information, I will go see if I can find those titles on Amazon (through PC -of course) LOL! :d I do not mean to be disrespectful, and so I apologize if my replay sounds in any way as such. :-\ With that said; I know you disagree with this thread; but, might I ask y...

Clay, Yes I believe so. I will have others; and now that I know that this is your area of expertise... ^:)^ I may PM you or have other questions for you again, if you don't mind. Thank you for a nice educational presentation. (*) I hope you don't mind, but, I saved your post to a MS Word Document to...

All, I do not disapprove of anyone educating, that's what this site is stated as its intention. If when all of this information is presented and he then offers food for sale; then that is not anything different than someone offering to sell pleco caves or fish. If listed in the appropriate area of P...

Clay, You asked for a few questions for further discussion and after digestion of your great list here are a few things I had questions or comments on, Thank you! (*) 1. You stated: Question: Do fat and vitamins have a lifespan? Answer: Yes once the food is cooked the oxidation clock begins ticking....

Wow Premiumgreen,
Great reading-It will take me some time to digest !
Don

Hi Ben, Much of what your saying is going to be good for your efforts, (*) but, I don't understand what you meant: "I've been conditioning the 6 fish I currently have in the tank on carp pellets as advised by another cory breeder." Do you mean that your daily food is Carp Pellets? I am not...

Hi CoryfanAad; Currently, I am working on finding a trigger for my wild caught C. Concolor's. Part of the issue I believe is that the tap water where I live in Eastern Washington state, has a high pH and is hard. Despite trying all of the other tricks I know; frequent water changes, live foods etc,....

Dave, Thank you again!
That's a helpful chart.
Regards,
DOn

Dave,
Thank you!
I assume then there is not a separate "Breeding Section" but, rather if that species has been bred, then under each species will be the report? Thank you again for that information.
Don

Hi, Can anyone direct me to a central location on PC where the "Breeding reports" are kept? :ymblushing: I am wanting to compare my methods with others on PC and need tips for a few species I am interested in working on. My main focus is Corydoras, but, is there a location where these are ...

Hi Haakon, First let me say that I've read many of your posts and have learned a lot from you! Thank you for that. :d With that said; I remember the following article which may or may not have any advice you can use. http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33492 For myself; 99% of...

Hi Lynsey, Do a search on Aquabid for a seller named "Aero" he is in PA and usually has adult barbatus for sale. Even if he has none currently listed on AB; you can email him and ask. (He is a member here on PC too!) :d If you are on the West Coast, I know that The Wet Spot in Portland, OR...

Hi Andy, Welcome to Planet Catfish! After reading your request; I thought I'd make a few statements that might help you in your quest. Please understand that I am in no way speaking at you, but, offering friendly advice. First, Corydoras are not like a pair of Cichlids that you can buy a mated pair ...

I tried to compare your Cory to mine, I keep both Corydoras polystictus and Corydoras similis; after checking them all out, I have to agree with Karsten Schönherr. Your fish has larger spots than my C.similis and C.polystictus lacks the caudal smudge. C66 is a good candidate for your fish, it is oft...

I've used both the soilent Green and meat pie. (*) my fish love the meat pie best. The great thing about this type of food is that you can add things to it. So if you wanted to medicate you could add powders directly to the food. for frozen; I believe that Hikari makes a blackworm frozen cube food. ...

I wanted to interject an opinion here about feeding frozen/Live/Manufactured foods. While I agree that feeding modern flake and pellet foods are nutritionally correct and balanced, I believe that more is involved then just “eating”. There is a mental function and activity level involved with feeding...

I would suggest you look on aquabid for "Aero" he is out of Uniontown, PA and always has nice breeder size pairs of S. barbatus for sale very reasonably. :d To find him:(Do an advanced search on aquabid for "Aero") I think I have his email somewhere as well so if you don't locate...

This is a very interesting thread. I purchased my Whiptails as Rineloricaria hasemani here on the west coast USA from Wet Spot. (Called Colombian Whiptails) They are selling them again and this time are calling them Hemiloricaria hasemani. The males I have, have facial whiskers on the sides of the f...

Hi Corycory, I have read that the lasers are more closely related to Corydoras melanotaenia. But, regardless I think many of the Corys are distantly related and "could" hybridize. I keep generally 2 species in each of my spawning tanks,and other than the Gold Laser/Green aeneus cross that ...

Ok thanks.
