I was hoping to breed my apistos once I finished growing out my cories and plecos (need the tank), and sadly ended up losing my male (choked on a pleco fry) in the community tank. Not sure which type i'm going to secure and try with. I really like the panduro.

I'm hooked. Every year. Watch the same shows, and i'm fine with it. Just got a shark tattoo

I live in a house. I had them shipped to my employer. They still lost them for a week, and I still had to pick them up. The 'tips and tricks' don't work for downward trending service.

They lost my shrimp from shrimp fever for over a week.

I collected them from the main tank, the ones on a leaf, I just cut the leaf, the ones on the glass I used a razor blade to scrape and catch. I used two methods to hatch (they were both pretty equal). Half the eggs went into a hang on quarantine box, clipped across from the filter output for flow, the other half went into a 2.5 gallon tank with some methylene blue. Once the boxed ones hatched, I added them to the 2.5. The ones in the 2.5 hatched one day after, but both had a very high hatch rate.

Thanks! More and more look like this each day. The smaller ones are still a little bland.

9 weeks in!

I had my albino and normal do the deed in a fake castle. Wasn't trying to breed, just notice my male was absent. I caught 20 fry with a shrimp net and an NLS container, and moved them to my fry tank. Left another 10 or so in the community tank, still see a couple here and there...my male is cleaning the decorations again.

And what would a blue snakeskin cost? If youdon't mind my asking.

See...not a pleco expert I did think galaxy, but overruled myself with doubt...

I'm no expert, but looks like a starlight pleco and a catfish (non pleco). (i'm also on my cell phone...lol)

Just spotted a bunch of pleco fry in the tank I pulled these eggs from. Apparently the water is quite nice this time of year...

I'm so impatient...lol I just want to have all the grownups, and feed them pellets instead of powder... I'm sure I have males and females of both species in question, as I've seen fry from both breeding trios. Not sure what ratio I have, but at least one of each Thank you for the input!

Question for any corydora pros out there. This tank had 3 venzualan orange, 3 peppered, 1 sterbai corydora. I thought they were my oranges that bred...then the fry started growing and I thought it was my peppered. Now as they grow more, I'm confused. My last 3 pictures in this topic: the first looks like a mix of the two, the second looks like my orange and the last looks like my peppered. Can those two species interbreed? MY fry tank seems to have a mix of peppered, venezualan, and a few that look like a mix. The other option is that two groups spawned at the same time, and I collected all the eggs and put them together, or the third option, They are all the same, and I know jack about corydoras... Thoughts?
