  1. Hi, does anyone know if peppered Corydoras and Sterbai Corydoras will interbreed or can I keep them together with their own respective schools?
  2. Hello, recently picked up these guys for free and was wondering if anyone could ID them for me. I believe they are peppered Cory’s but I’m not positive
  3. I know Sterbai tend to do fine in warmer temps. Would you suggest using a heater to keep the tank at a solid 78°F for breeding purposes if I was to put the two together? Or keep it with no heater so it stays around 70-72°?
  4. Has anyone ever successfully kept a couple of species of Corydoras together in a breeding tank. I want to breed a few species, but don’t necessarily have the space so I wanted to keep them together. More specifically Sterbai and Orange laser. If I was to keep sufficient schools for both, could this be feasible?
  5. Hello, I was curious to see if anyone has been able to breed Sterbai Cory’s at around room temp (no heater). I know they are generally considered one of the types of Cory’s that can handle warmer waters, but I have no heater in the tank at the moment. If anyone has had success, let me know how, or if I should just get a heater
  6. Amazing advice! Thank you! When you get spawns, do you put the fry into a breeder box or simply provide ample hiding spaces (ex. Moss) for them in the tank? Also do you treat it with anything (like methylene blue)
  7. For awhile I’ve wanted to breed Corydoras, and what better species than the gold laser Cory? However, it’s hard to find exact parameters to succeed with breeding online, because every website offers different advice. Y’all have not failed me in the past and I want some opinions on water parameters, if a 20gL plastic tub with a sponge filter and a bunch of Java moss (bare bottom) would work, and other tips. Thanks!
  8. Hello, I’ve recently setup a neocaridina shrimp breeding tub. Just used a plastic Al “food-safe” tub I got from Wal-mart. Have a sponge filter and Java moss with a few rocks containing anubias glued to them. What I was wondering is if a substrate is needed? I plan on this being a breeding tub for blue dreams and I’d rather keep it as cheap as possible, but I want to know if a substrate is actually needed or not
  9. Hey y’all, im putting together a 7-8gal pea puffer aquarium. Going to house just 2 pea puffers. And it was going to be filled with ramshorn and pond snails. Would feeding by hand (like frozen bloodworms or such) need to be done if the population of snails is adequate enough? Or will the snails be all the need?
  10. Ah gotcha, I had an extra T-valve and airstone sitting around so I wanted to make sure there wasn’t any big cons about it. I do have a low-tech shrimp tank. And so I wanted to make sure their water had plenty of oxygen in it beforehand
  11. Hello, Ive heard some people put an air stone in their water they use for water changes to help aerate it before putting it into the aquarium. Are there significant benefits to this or any cons?
  12. Being 6’4” with arms almost too long, I don’t need to worry about maintenance. I think the smart move is take the best of both worlds and get a 75G 😂
  13. So a big tank debate I see is that people prefer the 40gal Breeder over a 55gal and I’m curious as to why. I hear it’s because the 40gal breeder has more width, so there is more surface area for bottom dwellers. And while that is true, after doing the math, a 40gal breeder has 648 sq inches of space as opposed to 624 in the 55gal. So yes, there is 24 sq inches more of space, but I find that when given more space, people place more decor or plants. So at the end of the day, is it really worth it to get a 40gal breeder that is less desirable to watch from the outside due to the lower height and short length? P.S. I understand sometimes if u have a big fish that needs room to turn, the 40gal is the better option
  14. Howdy, I was curious to get a pea puffer for my low tech tank. He’d help control the pest snail population. There is currently no heater on the aquarium and it stays a steady 70-72°F. Is that too cold for these guys or do you think he will be fine?
  15. Luckily it’s a no filter setup so I don’t have to worry about cleaning that out. Might buy a couple assassin snails. Maybe a pea puffer. Not sure yet
