Shannon Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Do you have any Crystal shrimp available for purchase this weekend? (Or do you even sell them, looking back on new fish posts I'm not seeing them?) Thanks! Edited March 27, 2021 by Shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've found over the years that 9 out of 10 people kill them if we have them for sale in the store. They just buy them and keep them like cherry shrimp, which leads to their death unfortunately.

In my region, smaller community fish and nano fish aren't that popular. Cardinal tetras are rarely seen, and cherry shrimp are a novelty. I just checked my favorite local pet store again and it seems that the only cories they regularly carry are bronze and albino cories! I wish I had a store like the Co-Op. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 @CorydorasEthan its so interesting that the fish that are a staple in every lfs/ petstore in my region, is hardley even sold in your region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a Pygmy Corydora Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I just got Aurora like today. Right now it is 5:54 PM (I bought him from Aquarium Co-op at 3/27/20, at 10:20-ish AM) Aurora backs away from me and hides under the crowd of water lettuce on the surface every time I come watch Aurora to see if he's doing good. By the way, this is my first fish in a 5 gal tank. There is no other fish in the tank but Aurora. There is a betta hammock, a feeding ring, some plants, one marimo moss ball, crypt. tropica, water lettuce, nano sponge filter with airline tubing, stingray led lights, a nano heater, and soft small gravel with beneficial bacteria. Every thing is normal, no ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, but the ph is 7.5. I don't know why he's scared of me and keeps hiding. It makes me worry a lot. Can anyone help or explain why Aurora is doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyfellows Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Is there a specific day that you guys sell the bags of live baby brine shrimp? Or is just when ever you guys happen to have left overs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is just when ever you guys happen to have left overs? It would be if there is extra. I have actually instructed them to not have any schedules. People become reliant on it and angry if we don't have it. Basically if someone is wondering when we would have it, they should be hatching for themselves as it's not difficult. In the past this always lead to problems when people "NEED IT" relying on our schedule. So if we have more than we need to feed that day, there may be some extra.

Tinyfellows Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 @Corygotcha that makes sense guess I will have to get a set up and start hatching them on a smaller scale since I’ve got just one 5 gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6veteran Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Got 10 of the Pygmy Corys ... wow! They are awesome little schoolers. They school alone or join my Danios, and are already getting into all the nooks of my plants. Highly recommend! Fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowcenter93 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 How do well do Peacock Gudgeons sell for the Co-op? I know Cory has said in the past he's not a fan due to aggression (correct me if I'm wrong). But my LFS gets them regularly and sells alot. Owner is a big fan of them and turned me on to them.

They do okay but we don't sell a ton because we try to make sure they are going home in the right setups. There more of once in a while I'll bring in a few type of fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought home 3 of them from my LFS this afternoon. I have done a lot of reading about them and talked to the owner of the shop but maybe I missed something. Is there something that many people get wrong and fail at for Peacock Gudgeons? I was advised to use frozen baby brine shrimp to start with (they are fairly small) then to move to a alternation between bloodworms and pellets. I have Easy Fry food as well. Can I use that as the pellets? Would peacock gudgeon fry be able to eat Easy Fry if I decided to attempt breeding them? Thank you.

Robert Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 @egruttum Main issue is people trying to keep them in shrimp tanks or with other nano fish as they can and will eat these. These fish get a good size (3.0") for your average tank in my opinion. In my experience I don't see the aggression but I usually have kept them with cyprinids, danios, and larger tetras in well planted setups with hides. The foods you mentioned are fine. As for what the fry eat I couldn't honestly answer that as I have never bred them. Fresh hatched baby brine would be a good mix in that feeding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egruttum Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 @RobertThank you for the reply. I have read some people say they do fine with shrimp, some people say to keep them separate. I've latched on to the theory that if something can fit in a fish's mouth (another fish, shrimp, me) then eventually said object will end up in the bigger fish's mouth at some point, no matter what the fish are. Just look at Jonah and the great fish. Mine are quarantined right now so I have 4-6 weeks to figure out what I am going to do. I was going to keep them with a few guppies (not fancy with long fins, basically just the mutts of guppies), mystery snails, and ghost shrimp. After watching them for the first night it looked like they either laid or hovered just above the sand substrate so maybe keeping them with ghost shrimp who are active at night is not a great idea. I guess I will watch them over the next few weeks and see what I am going to do. The good news is I have plenty of 10 gallon tanks that the shrimp and/or guppies can live in so these guys can be in my 20 gallon tank in my office.

stowcenter93 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 @egruttumjust my 2 cents from my own experience, they are great fish and aggression has never been an issue.They occupy all parts of the water column, which is a plus. I don't keep them with any nano fish, but the "can this fit in their mouth?" rule is exactly what you want to ask. Biggest thing I would say is not to keep them as a single centerpiece fish. They can be disappointing if that is your goal. But in groups, I absolutely love them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egruttum Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 @stowcenter93Thanks for sharing your experience. I bought three young Peacocks yesterday because that was all my LFS had. When they grow up a bit and i can determine sex my plan is to have three of each sex in the aquarium. Does having equal male and females seem reasonable in your experience? My readings make it sound like it will probably work as long as I have shelter and plants. My aquarium is fairly well planted but currently lacking structures to hide in. I'm working to change that and I have some time before quarantine is over.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
