I had an albino male and a female who was greenish in color. Sorry that I don't know what type they were. Either way, they loved each other and mated for 9 years. I gave over a 100 fry fish to the pet store from these two. I watched the whole process of her attaching the eggs to the wall of the tank and I assume him fertilizing them. When my big girl died, my albino boy died soon after. They loved each other .

I used to think the fine substrate thing was bogus, especially after hearing other unnamed KZbinrs insist that substrate didn't matter. I put them on gravel in a large, heavily-planted tank and the gravel definitely damaged their barbules. I've tried to pull them out, but it's nearly impossible to catch them in such a large tank with so much cover. I've moved all but three to a tank with sand and the three that are left just seem so miserable. I try to make sure they get fed and as comfortable as possible, but pulling them out is impossible. Don't be like me. Start them on sand.

So if you can’t get them all out or whatever, why not just gradually add some large, flat, smooth rocks, or shale or something? Then, eventually, you’ll mostly have smooth, flat surfaces for them with just a little bit of rocky substrate left, for variety. Unless you can eventually get it out, but like, gradually displace or replace the gravel with smooth larger rocks. You can then add some sand in handfuls too. Bottom feeders like to pick through all of the substrate though, regardless of if it’s rough or not. But when people strictly use gravel in their tanks, or even EcoComplete for plant growth, it’s very jagged and rough. I’d imagine it’s about as comfortable as standing on one of those spiky doormats with bare feet, all day everyday. And if you think about it, in nature, in these South American waterways they inhabit, they’re located in and around forests. Which means the substrate is basically mud, silt, and dirt. Soft, acidic, and tannin-rich. Just like the water itself, and the pH. Lots of people do dirt tanks, for the plants’ sake, and I swear by it. I got excellent growth from everything that had roots. Even my anubias and Java ferns roots were touching it and going crazy. But what do we inevitably do? We always cover the dirt with sand and/or gravel to keep it contained and not cloud up the tank. In nature, there’s no capped layer. 😆 Maybe in places where rocks have been eroded over centuries, there is, and some sand and rock deposits or something, I don’t know how that would really work… but at home, it may be an experiment I do, to try setting up a blackwater tank by not capping the dirt. I think it would likely be ideal for the Cories and any bottom feeders like kuhli loaches, or anything shy too. I’d cover it with a layer of mango, mulberry and dried almond leaf instead of the gravel and sand.. I’d even sift the dirt first and get the woody, splintery parts out first. And I feel like the smaller species, like cories, wouldn’t disturb the soil that much. Other than digging around, it’s not like they’re loaches or goldfish. Or cichlids. It’s not like it would be constantly cloudy, it would eventually settle. We just always cap it, mainly to secure the plants. Any larger species though, then the tank would be a blackwater setup. Lol.

Great timing for this video as I was just thinking about trying to breed corys soon. Have had eggs once but wasn't on purpose so it could've gone better. Current are a few green and an albino, the albino girl being the only one that bred so far, a couple of pandas (might need to do smth different with them when I can afford more) and a small group of tiny dwarf corys. Idk if these three all need different temp parameters but i tend to keep all tanks at 76°F, home at 70°F so if the lower temp is a good one for them I might consider moving one species into an unheated tank, though that already has a pair of darters and idk how much they'd like neighbors so this is definitely a job for next month when i can upsize the unheated setup and replace the fish in the smaller, currently cory free tank with some inverts instead

Great info! I would also like to add that you should probably put their tank in an area that doesn't have high traffic. My corys used to have a tank in the hallway where people always went past and they were quite skittish until I moved them into my room - now they come out a lot and aren't as scared of people. Now they're calm, explore their whole tank and have no problem swimming to the higher levels to see what's happening. But when I started keeping corys I did have a few problems with them because I didn't know how to keep them. Now that they're in a better tank with lots of cory friends they look so happy and breed all the time for me! I currently have a batch of 50+ peppered cory fry that I got from corys I bred myself from my first few. I keep peppered cory in a heated tank (about 22⁰c) with two young goldfish I also bred myself. I wouldn't normally do this combo but my goldies unfortunately have some deformities, especially around the mouth, so they can't even suck up juvenile corys. In fact, the goldfish and corys hatched around the same time as each other so they've been raised together throughout their whole lives (I only had one tank available to raise fry so I just stuck them in together). It worked out pretty good! The tank has some plants but they're mostly large amazon swords. I still need to get some smaller things like moss and guppy grass. It has soft gravel but it's larger than I thought it was so next payday I'll be getting sand to have a layer of something the corys can stick their noses into. Will also need to get a few more hiding spots for them but they still have wood they can hide under right now. The tank just needs a few more things to make it into a cory haven. And if I remember correctly I have 14 females and 5 males. Though I will be selling a few of those females just to give them a bit more space. All but one I bred myself (that one is the father) and two are albinos I got lucky enough to get in the batch (they are still peppered cory though).

Hi Nick! I know this is an older thread but I'm trying to determine if I may have a problem with one of my Julii's. I picked up 5 (one didn't make it home unfortunately, was a baby & he got squished by the other 4 chunkies before I could get him properly in the tank). So, now I have 4. They're all chunky & active & eat well. One of them though, flashes in the feeding area (never anywhere else). I have Betta sand in that area. Water parameters are good. No ammonia, no nitrites & nitrates at 10-20 ppm. They've been in the tank for 2 weeks & are the newest additions. No other signs of sickness, gills are fine, no spots, breathing good & active. I don't want to run out & treat them un-necessarily if it's just gill cleaning or food searching. I know it's hard to "just diagnose" fish diseases so my general questions are 1. CN this behaviour be normal & 2. What can I look for in the body/behaviour to ensure I've got the diagnosis close to what it could be? Water temp is 75 degrees. Have a Fluval 407 in a 50 gallon so very good water movement.the only caveat is my PH is about 7.8 despite an enormous log of grapewood in the tan. Thanks!

Except, oh, man, they absolutely pick through whatever 3 or 4 types of food I give them to eat on any given day, devouring everything except the tubifex worms, and only after every single bloodworm, brine shrimp or daphnia is gone, will they turn to the tubifex. It is 100% off my shopping list for the future.

Yeah. :( I didn't do well enough by my now former cory's. Looking back, there definitely wasn't enough cover for them. There was a cave and the area under the sponge filter, and not much else. Also, I don't think all the food made it down to the bottom.

Longfin Cory cats so cute, and very bossy . . . They boss & push around the baby blue rams in my tank . . . They are definitely a fish species to get in groups of 6 or more . . . Even though the may not always stay together . . . Have some that just hide then other's the move around in the grass, rocks, and various plants. Added a few loaches and tank is popping. So cute 😍

Hey there, I am a big fan of yours. I have been breeding mixed guppies for a while. I found two really good guppies among them, they are 1 female albino koi guppy and a male fancy guppy. These are the only two guppies that I found that were good. The rest are just normal guppies. So, I was wondering if it is possible to create my own line of guppies with only these two guppies. I heard people creating their own line of guppies with a few pairs of guppies, but I never saw anyone create their own line with only 1 pair of guppy, 1 male and 1 female. So please help me out. Please let me know if it is possible and if so, how should I do it.

I had a fire and it killed every fish in the tank but 2 Cory's. The tank even cracked from the heat and the water drained out almost all the way, but the Cory's survived laying on their sides. Sadly the 2 pet shops near me closed, the nearest pet store is 4 hours from me. Wish I could order Cory's safely online.

I have 14 different Cory's and 8 Lg Angel fish in a 75 gallon, a few days ago some of the Cory's were gathered together going up the front of the tank and I would see a white egg or speck on the glass and one of the Angel fish would eat it, I showed my wife and she asked me did I want scrambled eggs and I said "Oh Yeah" 🤣

I have pandas, albino, julii and salt and pepper ones in with 3 of my amazon puffers. I love them all. I love you long fin pandas. Do you sell any of your fish?
