Bet you woke up real quick after that.
Let's talk about culls...have a few...no way can I...well...cull them. They're too big now to be predated. Can't sell them. Wanna break down the tank. Should I just offer them up for free to someone as snack fish? Makes me sad I know if I breed I'm responsible but let's face it I won't even squish spiders. I free them to the great outdoors.
Culls of what?

Shell dwellers maybe? There was a posts several pages back mentioning that some of the fry had deformed jaws and one with an odd pigment.

Same, won't kill things unless absolutely necessary. Why don't you send them to me? I honestly have no idea what you should do with them, maybe distribute them around some of the tanks with bigger fish and see if any survive. If not then the fish are fed.
Trilineatus are the only cories I've successfully bred.
What other species have you kept?
I've been able to breed aeneus, trilineatus, metae, and aspidoras. The zygatus and arcuatus are too young. The Delphax & ambiacus have a poor sex ratio but I cannot get the pygmaeus, rabauti, Habrosus, or schwartzi to breed. Schwartzi may not yet be at sexual maturity either though. However I have good groups and sex ratios with the others just no eggs...wondering if they're generally more difficult or what. I have seen that some more problematic ones respond well to live tubifex but I haven't seen any around. I've varied feeding and water change schedules but haven't found the right trigger yet I guess.
Just habrosus and pygmaeus, I'm more of a loach person. :
