Hi All, I'm a new fish owner and new to the forum. Great to meet you! So I got a 5.5 galloon starter kit at PetSmart and three cories. I now realize after being on the forum for a couple of days that this is likely too small a tank for 3 fish? Though they said at PetSmart that was fine and I...

Hello there, I am sure you guys get LOADS of these questions but.. I have a 33 gallon tank that I'd like to stock a bit more. I currently have a beautiful laid back Betta fish, one dwarf African frog, 7 white cloud minnows, 5 corydoras white, 2 black skirt tetra's. I was thinking of getting a...

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...

So I have a 10 gallon tank with 5 corydoras(3 emerald green, 1 albino, 1 peppered, and 1 juli) and a rubberlip pleco. I just got two of the corys tonight(the peppered and juli). I noticed when the girl at petsmart pumped 3 pumps of stress coat into the bag too... Anyway, the two corys were in...

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...

Hello, Either my LFS is reprehensible (and i don't think they are), or there's a major tank problem. ...Or a major “me” problem. I've clearly messed up, made rookie mistakes, possibly relied a little too much on my LFS for advice… but how can I do right by these last little...

I bought 5 Julii Corydoras on Saturday for my 55 gallon tank, and right now I have them in a temporary quarantine tank. My question is what to feed them. I bought these algae wafers, but soon after I put them into the tank they turn into a pile of mush and make the water all cloudy. They are...

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...

So I thought I'd solicit feedback about my current adventure as an aquarist. Here's a timeline: Jan 28: brought home first ever aquarium, a 10g starter from Petsmart. Added fake plants and decorations. Jan 30: Based on advice from Petsmart associate (had not yet found this forum), added fish...

So, I currently have a small group of habrosus cory (had 5, one died yesterday, so now just 4), and they are pretty small all about 1/2" (the smallest was the one that died, he was about 1/4"!). I love my little cories, but in my tank (29 gal) that is a lot of space for 4 itty bitty cory, and...

Ok, i just got a ten gallon tank. Itss my very first tank, but my bother had a 29 gallon tank growing up. I'm asking the experts here if these fish would be ok to put together in a ten gallon tank: 1 or 2 emerald green corydoras 1 mickey mouse platy 1 long finned zebra danio 1 GloFish and...

:lol: Here are some new pics! I love the first one....lol

im starting a new 10 gallon tank especially designated for corydoras, i need to get small size gravel, plants (any ideas, java fern, swords, etc..), and i would like a big piece of wood or stick, you know you see that in a lot of tanks, should i use sponge or regular filter? i dont know but does...

Hello, One of my (ridiculously awesome) cories developed a white spot on its side last week. Around the same time, the cory seemed to have some cloudiness around an eye. The cloudiness around the eye looks to be clearing up, but there has been no reduction in the white spot. I checked the water...

I think this is where I can post these? Here is the new decor!
