Thanx! I finally found cloverleaf absolute wormer + which is flubendazole! The instructions just say to use 1 time per month for prevention though? Any recommendations on dosing and how long before might see improvement? I was considering separating betta to a 5 gallon hospital tank for...
Update- after doing a salt treatment as suggested my cory are all fine and acting normally now however I am at a loss about my betta still emaciated, scale issues seem worse, and now has a clouded over eye (see pics) betta has been consistently active and eats readily and I did try feeding...
Hmm can I ask what type of Cory you have been trying to keep? No other large bottom feeder in tank like Pleco etc? Sounds like you have a good amount of hiding spots but you ever notice the cichlid or angles harassing them? I have found that Cory do not handle stress well. I also was...
Thanx! I have successfully kept female in community tanks in the past based on research I’ve done female are much easier to do this with than male. my current female has been in with the “fake” 5 Cory (they were mislabeled and now that they have grown a bit are clearly peppered Cory not salt and...
Thank you! I was just worried 9 with my betta and snail in a 10 gallon would be overstocked. You don’t think so? I know they only get about an inch big… Should I just monitor my levels for awhile to be sure and look for signs of stress?
Also Completely agree with the gravel as well I have small...
Anyone have experience keeping these guys in a 10 gallon tank? Wondering how they do and experienced stocking recommendations (inter webs has wide range from 3-10) lol. I bought a group of 6 from lfs however after having them for a bit I have realized they were actually baby peppered Cory...
Will you send to me as well? I am also on the hunt but only place I found isnt selling anything less than a school of 9 - wish tank I had for them was bigger! Story of my life haha
Well look who it is! Hey long time no talk buddy! Haha I’ll try to see if I can catch it out again over the weekend. Whatever it is doesn’t look like it is fairing to well fighting the water flow in my tank
This may not be right spot for this but I have a planted tank so.. ?*♀️ I know this a long shot but can anyone tell what this thing is in my tank? I have 2 otocinclus 3 angels and group of Cory in this 55 gallon tank.. I did just get some plants delivered yesterday I put in here and I inspected...
Seriously thank you so much for the help! I think it has been over a week or so since I first noticed but only noticeably frequent the last few days. There is no white spots I can see on any of them and I did a fair inspection of the one I lost as well. Ive got some aquarium salt ordered to be...
Thank you for the advice on betta I had thought looked “skinny” but was so when I got from store and have been trying to feed more than I normally would (betta pellets and freeze dried blood worms) I have some frozen stuff so will start giving that too and increase feedings to several times a...
Got a 30 second clip. Watch toward back under wood at first then happens again a bit into clip near front of tank and Cory kinda skips/rubs again back toward under the wood.. just fyi this took a solid 15 min of me recording tank to catch happening I fed tank after and watched for another 5-10...
Oh also PH is between 6.5-7 and tank temp kept around 79 degrees. I also have a 55 gallon been up and running for years the only thing different I have been doing is I use a neutral regulator for my 55 when doing water changes but have only been using prime in this tank due to the small size I...
10 gallon tank been setup for about a month now. Cycle completed within a week or two in (did daily water testing and small water changes till no ammonia nitrite and 5- 10pm nitrate) I have continued testing weekly with no ammonia spikes and stayed on top of at least weekly if not twice weekly...
Cory are schooling fish so it’s recommended to have at least 6 to keep the little guys happy. :) also another food for thought is substrate choice matters with Cory since they nuzzle around in gravel you want a smooth substrate - I used aqua natural gold pearl its super small smooth round gravel...
Just fyi as I know you mentioned maybe doing a sorority but I can’t remember how big your tank your setting up is- the s+p Cory are VERY active I wouldn’t recommend more than 1 Betta with them in 10 gallon. Not to mention stock wise per aqadvisor 1 betta and 6 S+P pretty much maxes out 10 gallon.
Thanx! It’s actually a half coconut shell can find them on amazon and the filter is a sponge filter with media “basket” by upettools (also on amazon) Hygger makes a double one but was way too big for this tank [emoji4] the hygger single doesn’t have the extra spot for media so went with the...
Nice! Just fyi I have seen reports after week or two of white stuff forming and just needing to take wood out and give it a good scrub down. I’m sure will be fine but just thought would mention :)
Nice! lol.. glad to hear it’s peaceful! I was a little worried for you with how my angels were acting with my betta in the breeder box before I moved to the other tank :)
So… been setting up new 10 gallon tank and I had a sponge filter getting seasoned in my 54 gallon. For good measure I also pulled out sponges from my canister filter and gave them a squeeze in small amount of water and dumped that in new tank as well. Was doing my best to avoid cycle headache in...
