    The trick here is to look at the red. Schultzei have a black stripe with red on top and below the tail. Sailfin have red across the base of the tail. The bronze corys are black at the base of the tail. Well, that’s my opinion anyhow.

    Ditto

    I’m gonna go with the crowd here: bronze corys For a second I was wondering if they could be red sailfins, but the tail is black. Sailfins (venezuelanus) can be confused with Corydoras aeneus (bronze corydoras) and indeed C. venezuelanus is usually considered a junior synonym of that species. https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=716 Sailfin https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=51 Bronze

    Life finds a way! since I did not pull the fish or eggs, I figured’ “No chance for baby golf fish” I was wrong I also saw I tiny black one, but could get a picture….

    @Brandon p I haven’t had good luck letting my angels raise the babies. In fact, I’ve never had angel fry make this far.

    Too cute!

    That depends on several factors like: how many plecos are in the tank, what size are they, what and how much you are feeding them, etc. I upgraded to a 38 gal, and feed tetra shrimp wafers and Repashy a couple times daily. In the 20 long I needed water changes 2-3 times a week when they were at the peak. I had 2 females and a male in the tank, so they were breeding regularly. I wound up pulling the male cause I was overrun with the critters.

    Cleaning some of the mulm out, I found this guy… guess he’s the first to eat!

    My angel fry have been free swimming for a week now. I’m concerned about the mulm buildup, but the water quality is still good. @Fish Folk, how long until they are strong enough to fend for themselves with other fish? I have two tanks that could work, one has corydoras, the other plecos I think they woul fair best w the plecos, but IDK.

    We had a betta that flew over watch for our pandas.

    Plan on lots of water changes.

    I’ll second @Fish Folk here. My only problem was selling the baby’s fast enough.
  14. Ken Burke
    That’s a good goal.

    @TeeJay if your serious about breeding corydoras you’ll want 2 males per female. I don’t collect the eggs from my corys, but provide lots of hidey spots for babies. They are fairly easy to breed, once you get them to adult size. Good luck

    Ummmm. Awkward.

    @JettsPapa we had those temps a couple weeks ago, and one of my a/c units was out for the week. Pretty bad when it gets so hot you don’t wanna eat.

    @Guppysnail they are my trapdoor snails.

    I haven’t had this problem, but best bet is to contact ACO customer service. They are pretty responsive

    sometime you just need a helping hand. Show me your buddy pictures!
  22. Ken Burke
    We’ll see where it goes

  24. Ken Burke
    Well, have free swimming angels fry. I was ready to give up yesterday. butt hank and Lucy are still guarding the floating breeders box.
  25. Ken Burke
    They are red sailfin aka Corydoras venezuelanus They are pretty similar, planet catfish lists them as a little bigger:2.2” https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=716
