Guppysnail Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Went to Keystone Clash. Saw the wiggliest fish ever. So I got 6. I had not intended to buy fish. I have no room and no tanks. Could not resist. They are QT in my plant clipping project tank with 3 guppy babies as sentinel fish. I know only what I found on the net after I got home 🤣. The girl breeds them in hard water 7.8 ph so I knew they would be fine. New fish alway group and hide for a bit. These are no different but they grouped and “hid” along the front glass 🤪. This morning I went in to turn on lights but there was so much mayhem in this tank I had to look before I turned them on. I never thought I would say this but these kids make corydora look inactive. They looked like those playhouses with the plastic balls being blown all over. I went to siphon up some leftovers and these kids are fearless. 1st morning in the tank and they were investigating the python. Up and down the tube. Anyone keep or breed these? Share your knowledge please. Anyone just curious chime right in. Let’s learn together 🤗 HAPPY ADVENTURES…LEARN SOMETHING NEW Edited December 5, 2022 by Guppysnail 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 @Ken Burke I talked to my fish guy. He said they are relatively new on the market in the states compared to others so that’s probably why not so much info. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I remember seeing a video a while ago it mentioned that a lot of the aspidoras in the hobby are hybridized as it difficult to tell a lot of species of aspidoras a part 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 @ColuI think this was farmed Aspidoras as the Germans have gotten a taste for them and some of the South Asian farms started breeding them and as you made clear not caring about whether they were hybrids. Most hardcore Catfish people keep the lines clean and I’ve seen posts recently from Dan’s Fish and on some of the catfish forums about pure Aspidoras. In general they are the most spastic of all the corys. Fast swimming, social, gregarious fish which is what you see in the video @Guppysnail. They also stay relatively small and can go in 20-40 g tanks which makes them approachable for a lot of people unlike the chonkers I just got the CW028s Congratulations @Guppysnailreally cool Corys! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) These kids recently went through a growth spurt. They still look like they are displaying breeding behavior but I’m not certain. They eat EVERYTHING. They don’t just snuffle around in the gravel like my corys do. They nose dive in wiggle and shove gravel out of the way until their entire head is buried. They also eat baby bladdersnails off the glass. So they might be laying at night then eating the eggs. 🤷♀️ Edited November 18, 2022 by Guppysnail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use those. I use globs if moss and tons of plants. If they are not spawning and artificial mop is not going to encourage spawning. They only make collections easier. If they are spawning and eating the way these things wiggle through moss they will eat them from the mop.

They do this headstand dig all day long! It's a blur, but I can't remember if it was the pandas or the black corydoras that had similar behavior. Lack of sleep I guess and I just can't remember! Sitting here drinking coffee and it's 11 PM. (long story, lol) I have seen two main behaviors, not constantly, but the bigger the herd, the more often I've seen it. In the 55/75G in the sand they would "hoover" pretty much all day. They get food, but tail in the air and they literally just do that all around the tank. That was definitely the pandas at that time. In the newer setups that I have now they are a lot more reserved, but I have seen them do that same thing when they are fed a food they really, really like. Doing that 24/7, I could only imagine how fun and goofy that species would be in a massive herd on some sand. I am glad I randomly stumbled upon this thread. I absolutely LOVE to learn more about these species and this type of fish. No idea why, but I just really, really enjoy them.

Sidenote, You had mentioned in the OP and some of the initial posts how there isn't a lot of information available. I spend the weekend watching a livestream / auction with someone that might be able to help with some information. They did auction a species very similar to the one you have. They also mentioned how they are much, much more active than corydoras generally. The person in question is Anthony Mazeroll. Let me grab the details for you.https://www.amazonresearchcenter.org/ amazonresearchcenter@gmail.com was the email they listed for questions / inquiry on the stream. The research center is focused on peru, listings I am seeing for this are:https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=384 From brazil. I would imagine given the crossover this person might be able to shed some light or something, very knowledgeable and helpful from what I saw on stream over the two days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
