A friend of mine kept his LDA65 till 30" !

Hi guys,

Do I need to place wood in my tank for L95? Do they eat wood like panaques do?

Hii guys, Just want to share a few pictures of my new boy, enjoy! [img]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/soltari007/L273060_zps9afd0587.jpg[/img] Gotta get high you know what I mean?

Any full tank shots?

Here's my top 5 list (in order of affection):

1) Corydoras eques
2) Corydoras sp. "Gold Laser"
3) Corydoras sp. "Gold Laser"
4) Corydoras robineae
5) Corydoras duplicareus

Hi all, need your expertise and experience on below: One of my corys is rolling over and over at the bottom of the tank, he can't swim straight. However he has not lost his coloration and is still very well-conditioned, no signs of starving. I have just done a 50 percent water change and fished him ...

Here's some pics of my new catch.. just so happens to be my favourite corydoras species of all time!! :) http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/soltari007/177.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/soltari007/171.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/soltari007/170.jpg [Mod edit: Enable BBCODE...

Very nice fish! I hope you still have them with you, and breeding too :) I still can't tell about their water temperature preference after a week, my fish are active and eating at 22-24 deg C, but so are my friend's fish which you may remember are kept at 27-30 deg C. I'm anxious to find out which t...

My favourite corydoras species:

1) C. eques - because of that burning orange dot, and because they've been on my wanted list for so long.
2) C. orange laser - talk about colour contrasts, these guys are unreal
3) C. robustus - can corydoras come any bigger!
4) C. fowleri - my favourite longnose

This is a video of my supposed eques, can you id just based on the video?

Thanks for your reply. :-BD I read abt this difference in temperature requirements for the 2 similar species in L-Welse, although my German is a little rusty and I wasn't too sure I got it right. Is there any other way to differentiate between the 2 species? I got it from the LFS that this is a ship...

Hi guys,

I got this group of C. eques that I'm really excited about, hope to keep them well and even try breeding. Any tips about temperature, habitat, water conditions like pH that are found to be best for their husbandry? Pls share a little with me, thanks..

Hi all,

I have 8 C. sterbais moving up and down my tank non-stop after I dropped the temperature by abt 5 deg C from normal... it's now 24 deg C... But no further action from them until now. Any idea how to trigger these guys to breed?

awesome! They really have some nerve.

At least the irwini can't eat those eggs, on the contrary it is protecting them! Symbiotic relationship innit ;)

Thanks to all of you for replying! From what you guys mention above, out of my list it seems keeping C. weitzmani, C. duplicareus and of course C. sterbai in warm water will be possible. :) This is good for me because of the average temperature here, which hovers around 28-30 deg Celsius(82-86 deg F...

Hi guys,

Just wondering, is there any warm water species(28-30 deg C) around other than C. sterbai? How about the following species:

1) C. weitzmani
2) C. concolor
3) C. duplicareus

Is the breeding trigger for these warm water cories also mainly temperature drop?

Yeah Janne, he will probably step down after the money is paid out to the private sector from government coffers... Retire happily without suffering the environmental and socio-political fallout. Run Lula run!

Sorry, nothing seems to work in embedding the youtube from my side..

Here's the link instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_ndw5gGfFY

Over here in S.E. Asia, temperatures aren't ever cooling enough to make it easy to breed cories without a chiller, so this ain't a breeding thread, this is a god****ned showcase (if you find it suspiciously familiar to some song lyrics, it is :)) Not sure if I can post videos here, but here goes: [y...

Wow you pulled a thread from 2004. The fact that they're huddling together doesn't mean anything. you can sex them when they're better conditioned by their comparable head shapes/sizes.

I hope you had rinsed the sand at least 10+ times before you added it to your tank, because that looks extremely cloudy, and definitely poor water quality for your cories! Even with a mature filter, all that suspended particles will clog up the system and force you to do a system reset(wash out the ...

it's odd, cuz unless there's something frightening your cories terribly, they're almost always roaming around in the tank.

I keep them at 27 deg, and they're swarming all over my tank front glass!

Add some blackwater.

What are e sizes for breeding size L134s?

Just got 2 new Lamontichthys stibaros, and they're HUGE!!!!! at least 7" without the whip. Ready to breed? :D http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3293/2938681466_b7e5b0a0f1.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2937828955_0d8f37a6d4.jpg the one highest up the glass.. and my smaller Lamons(4-5"...

Oh thanks. They are sold together, and some pple in SG think that they are the same species, and they consider the piece in the third pic to be the male of the species. The only way I'll know for sure is if they do anything kinky :) Anyone else here has experience with this fish? I notice they take ...

Well hi I have three 4-5" L25s, one 2" L64, one 2" L114, one 5" L113, one 8" Megalancistrus cf. barrae, one 6" Acanthicus Adonis albino and one 4" L91 Dragon Fin, all in the same 4' tank with a 7" L128 and 5" L200high fin. I find that as long as the pleco...

Hi Janne,

Do u mean that the third picture is that of L.stibaros male? I thought that was a L.filamentosus?

Here they are after roughly a month..
