That's the story of my threads as well lol. If you read my Panther Crab Breeding Project thread there was actually a point in time where I was depressed about it and was considering not keeping it up to date anymore, but thankfully y'all came through and helped.

I read that thread! I just don't know ANYTHING about inverts I keep so many loaches so even the most basic aquarium inverts are either food or too brackish for salt-sensitive fish. But I'm really enjoying following along!

Yeah I read along but have little to contribute. I know nothing about these crabs.

Here are some pics of my fish from last night. I forgot to post them earlier. The black corys ended up digging up root tabs. I reburried them but geez. The L333 have also dug some caves but now seem settled in the caves I've provided.

Do you know how old your black cories are?

Some I got as juvies- 6 actually and 6 I was given as adults. So no, not really.

Just wondering if mine will get much bigger, they've definitely grown in the few months I've had them but they're much smaller and slimmer than other species I have

 

[brennae]

I haven't had mine long enough to know either. I'll do some asking. Some people claim their are an aeneus type

Brenna

 

[Eggheadfish]

They're classified under aeneus because they haven't been defined but it's definitely a schwartzi subcat. I seriously doubt they get as beastly as aeneus but supposedly they breed pretty readily too since all specimens available come from tank bred stock

Schwartzi or Schultzi? They have a somewhat similar body as aeneus but mine are not quite as large. My friend has some that are quite large and he calls them black aeneus. Neither group that I have, did the seller know what to call them.

 

[Gillie]

Count dorsal rays and compare the count to the other black forms, this will solve the mystery.

Schultzei sorry my phone thinks it knows what I want to say

Speaking of black aeneus, here's s picture of mine, they look pretty dark...

There are regular bronze/emerald cories, 9 weeks old!

 

[brennae]

Nice pics. Digital camera or phone camera?

Brenna

 

[Tropical Aquarist]

Thanks it's an iPhone 5C camera, it takes fairly decent pictures.....

In real life the cories are almost black with the orange fins... They really do look similar to yours....

 

[Eggheadfish]

TA, curious to see what they would look like on light substrate...my aeneus looked similar on dark sand but brightened way up on PFS

 

[Eggheadfish]

As opposed to these guys with black eyes stay super dark on all substrate
