Re: Need some advice for corydoras Loxozonus

Re: Helping to get them to breed - Cory metae - WC

the cold water thing also depends on where ur corys come from. i read that if ur corys come from higher altitudes, tTHAT'S when the cold water counts. lower altitude fish would not require cold water, just the "rain". my orange lasers came from the high country of peru as did my trilineatu...
