I would totally recommend a canister filter, their quiet and they filter much better then a hob filter. If you're looking for a good affordable canister filter I'd go for the sunsun their sold on ebay they range from $30-$60. If you want a hob filter that's quiet I'd recommend the fluval...

Yeah thats what i thought, i still haven't had any luck finding what these babies will look like. I guess only time will tell at about 3 months they should be mature.

Okay so the shop i got my cory at said it was an emerald cory (Brochis splendens) but they could be wrong idk. I've never said that their fry are hybrids and i dont intend to sell to any pet store either. They'd probably end up killing the babies with their poor water quality. I posted this to...

Yeah i know all that stuff but i wasnt trying to get them to breed it just seem to happen that way. Right now its pretty cold here in texas so i had to put a heater in my tank and when i did the water change the water comes out cool so thats what happen.

Look for big fat ones those will more then likely be female, males are smaller and thinner from the belly

Lol well for me it was easy all i did was sit there and watch, for the cories however it was tiring they were going at it for like 3 hours straight. I've had my female cory for about 6 months and the males about a year. I did a water change the day before they started spawning, i guess i did the...

Yeah for sure.:thumb:

I'll check out if corys can travel well with ups and post again later with updates. I'm excited about these babies i've never breed fish before.

I've got over 50 of these babies once they get bigger i might need to sell or give some away. Any fish people near south texas?

Here's another pic

:fish2: So mom is an emerald Cory and the dads are albino cories. The fry are about 2 weeks old and most are clear with strips, what will they end up looking like? I've googled it but I got nothing. Has anyone had this mix?

Awesome thanks guys!!

Okay got it hope you can see them.

I tried to post pics but it didn't work. How do I add it in to my post?

They seem to be eggs i noticed it 2 days ago and it was just clear now today 2/7 i can see these tiny greenish white things inside of it??? Im worried it could be a parasite or something. In this tank i have 10 snails and about 100 cory fry. Also the water is cloudy since i just feed the cories.

It could go either way for me at this point "live plants or fake plants" i have my income tax money rolling in soon so im ready haha. What would you suggest as a centerpiece fish?

Yeah for sure lol. Thats what im doing here on this forum, its nice to have other fish people to talk too. Thanks for your kind words of wisdom :)

Thanks deelee you read my mind. I have a lfs guy thats ready to order any fish i'd like in the tank. I've had guppies before but they all ended up killing each other??? Whats a good male to female ratio 1 to 3? Also what fish do you like and keep?

What would you suggest for a community tank, i want fish that pop.

Site to store "walmart" Walmart: S. T. International Gold Nitrifying Bacteria for Freshwater Aquariums, 3. 4 Oz.

I would try getting some online, or try fishless cycling.

Hi chillie308 Im new here too but i'd suggest going to your local pet store and get yourself a bottle of live bacteria to kick start the cycle in your tank. Just make sure its freshwater bacteria not saltwater. Oh and it could also help if you have a friend or relative with a healty aquarium...

Thats what i was thinking too, but you think it would be fine to add some yellow lab cichlids?

Hey deelee2013 Hmm my ultimate favorite fish is a ranchu goldfish. But for this tank i dont want goldfish since they produce heavy waste. Im okay with any level of fish i just dont want anything to large or aggressive, since i want a community type tank.

Hi Spacefish42 i like all waters all fish but for this tank im thinking freshwater community tank i have a ton of corydoras that just came out of their eggs so im looking for good tank mates. Any ideas?
