  1. Catfish
    Hello, My Cory Catfish has been acting strange lately… He has been hovering in the middle of the tank and staring at the glass. I also noticed that his color appears to be a little redder than usual, and his barbel seems to be missing. I just noticed this tonight. The whole tank has been happy...
  2. Freshwater Aquarium Equipment
    I am planning on getting a 20-gallon tank but I'm not sure what to stock it with... So far, the biggest tank I've had is a 6 gallon. What kind of equipment/test kits should I get for the 20-gallon tank? Is it fine to just buy a Petsmart 20 gallon tank that includes supplies, or do I need to look...
  3. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hello guys. I've had fish for years but usually neon tetras or guppies. I used to have a pleco but he got big (never believe petco) and started to eat my other fish, so I didn't want to go through that again. This time around I wanted to try cory catfish. Since I only have a 10 gallon I thought...
  4. Catfish
    Hey everyone, I just recently bought a false julii catfish and introduced him (her?) into my tank. He's behaving pretty normally, but I read on a few aquarium sites that they are a schooling fish. Is it necessary to purchase more, and if so, how many? I have 1 pearl gourami, 1 dwarf gourami...

    Hi all, I'm fairly sure my tank has Ich (little white spots on my cories, look like they rolled in salt, and their fins are tattered. No flashing, though). I haven't finished stocking my aquarium (a month or two old, fully cycled and planted), but was planning on getting two honey gouramis...

    Today I rescued a tiny cory from a tank full of serpae tetra in the fish store. He was all alone and getting picked on. His tail fin is bitten in half along with his dorsal fin. He seems lively enough trying to follow the other cories in the tank, but he swims a little funny. I was wondering if...
  7. Catfish
    I've been reading about corys and have decided I want some for my 10 gallon tank, with the possibility of a betta tankmate. I've not decided yet, however, on the type of cory I want. I was looking at the dwarf, pygmy and Salt & Pepper corys, but stumbled upon a care sheet for the Bronze Cory. I...
  8. Catfish
    I think I got really lucky with these guys. I've seen Sterbai Cories sold at other places for nearly $15 and they are usually tiny! I happened to be looking around at fish at my local Petco when I spotted these guys in an unlabeled tank at the end. I was shocked to see these guys so big. They...
  9. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    I have a 55 gallon community tank with gravel substrate. In the past couple of weeks almost all of my otos and cories have died. The water params are normal and all of my other fish are fine. At first I was wondering if it had something to do with the substrate. The cories are always down...

    I have a 20 gal tank with 2 corydoras; 1 pleco; 4 neon tetras; 4 platies. I have religiously cleaned and changed 25%-35% water weekly. The water tests usually are very good except I have hard water and the pH is about 7.6-7.8. The aquarium is planted has been well established for 3 months...
  11. Catfish
    Alright everyone, so here's the scoop. Right now I have a 20 gal long tank stocked with my chosen cycling fish; four regular Zebra Danios. So far they've all survived for a little more then a week without any obvious problems. As far as I can tell, at the moment they are all perfectly happy...
  12. Catfish

    Ok so, heres the deal I cant keep my fish anymore cuz my mom wont let me so. and giving them away is out of the question unless someone lives near birmingham alabama and wants two emerald corys and one dwarf gourami. but if no one wants them, then, ive got a pond near my house and my mom wants...
  14. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi there, So I currently have a 10 gallon planted low tech excel dosed tank. I have a large java fern plant, good healthy bunch of Wisteria and a good healthy bunch Cabomba. The tank is filtered and heated (about 76 degrees) I had 1 betta as my feature fish, and a small family of pygmy cory...
  15. Tropical Fish Diseases
    So we've noticed that some of our neon tetras have been getting very bloated and mis-shapen after feeding. One swims head down and swims aimlessly till his belly gets smaller. One swims alone in the corner. They just don't act normal, but then again, we've never owned neons before! My main...
  16. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi, today I went to my LFS to get some white cloud minnows for my 5 gallon I plan to add a betta to later. The WCM were in a tank with pygmy cories, and one of them got caught in the net with the WCM and into the bag, so they let me keep him for free. Will he be ok in my tank? I read that they...

    So at feeding time this evening, I saw my rubber-lip pleco in the front of the tank and was surprised! I thought he finally is starting to venture out in the tank. Then I saw another fish bump into him and he didn't move... Admittedly, there were a lot of changes made to the tank. I got him...
  19. Fish Breeding
    I've had my Cats for about a year and they have been very affectionate from the very beginning. They have spawned 5 times but the eggs always end up being eaten by my cats or they literally rot...the eggs get "furry" within about 4 days of being laid and my tank gets polluted. So about 4 - 6...

    I have 2 gold fish (black moor and shubunkin) and have always loved catfish :^) Are corys good tank mates for goldfish? Please reply, my tank seems a huge space with only 2 fish in :(
