Thanks everyone.

Hmmm just noticed wrong kind of nose...

Any ideas?

Hi guys

I saw this being sold as a real Julii but doesnt seem like one to me.

However I don't think it looks overly Trilineatus like.

Could it be a ?

Edit - oops forgot the pic.

Hi Karsten

Thanks for the input much appreciated.

That is a gorgeous fish you have, when I saw it colour up I instantly thought

Hi buddy

No I didn't I bought them online from A2B Aquatics in Fife

(Sorry for the delay in seeing your question)

Hi Shane

Thanks for the info, I know the breeder (Ste Chester - sells a lot on ebay) said he got these in - wild caught - but with the knowledge you provided I can see why he might be mistaken.

The fish you provided could well be it, they are still pretty small so I will definitely be monitoring ...

Hi everyone.

When I put my Brevifilis onto the "my cats" log, it says I am the only keeper!

Surely not??

They were sold to me by a breeder here in the UK but would you guys say they are a different species?

Thanks for the help

Hi guys, picked up a couple of these little cuties that were named candy stripe catfish, however the face patterns seem different to what I have seen.

Hope you can help and thanks for the imput!

The water only needs to be kept clean. The chemistry is not too important although avoid extremely hard water.
Temps between 75*F and 80*F seem to suit them well.
Provide plenty of Hornwort or Java Moss but do leave enough open swimming and bottom space: at least 50/50.
The use of power filtration ...

Hi again guys, I am just continuing my research and trying to learn as much as possible.

Viewing the first fish again, classed as Corydoras agassizii - I to noticed the lack of pigmentation on the dorsal. Could these be Corydoras ambiacus to?

Could anyone else comment on the last photo I posted of ...

Hi there

I believe that the black stripe on tapers off as it approaches the tail, thins out if you like. I was also told that the colours on fade as they get older.

However I am sure someone can give you better info

L

corydoras Ephippifer now. (Hope that worked)

It certainly did. It's not clever enough to format it correctly sadly! Corydoras (the genus) should be written with a capital and the species name not. Don't worry a lot of folks get that wrong.

Cheers,

Jools

Good to know and remembered for next ...

Oops

My apologies. I will know for next time.

Thank you for the help, both of you. Why are cory so infuriatingly addictive!

I will go and research now. (Hope that worked)- Definitely not Melanistius then?

Hi everyone,

Apologies in advance as I am sure this post has been done to death but I searched and checked the results of other threads and I am still non the wiser to which some of mine are. I was hoping you wouldnt mind giving an opinion so I can log them on my spreadsheet. :)

Am I right in ...

Thanks Darrel, duely noted.

Ian, thank you for taking the time to post

If I was going to leave it as just dwarf cory species, would I need to divide the tank? As in couldnt I have all 3 roaming around the whole area?

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!!

As the tank is a little larger I was thinking about adding a couple of other small species to it, Dicrossus Filamentosis and Otocinclus spring to mind - does anyone see these as a problem.

Again thanks for the help

Lee

Hi everyone,

I was hoping on a little advice. I have limited success in the past with breeding various cory types and I have never got my dwarf species to breed - hence wanting this to be my next project.

I have a spare 48x12x12 sitting around and was hoping to make a permanent breeding colony ...

Buddy that is fantastic information - thank you so much. I can see you being a huge help to me in the future if you do not mind.

I have polli also, not even a sniff of breeding....

Hi,

most of the species are correctly labeled (including C. atropersonatus).

1) C. agassizii could something different, they usually have black colour in the dorsal.
18) is CW021.
21) I would also name this one C. ambiacus.

Cheers,

Hi Karsten - thanks for the help (To the others too!)

Are you ...

Pretty good Lee, I think 21 might be Corydoras ambiacus . May I ask where these pics were taken?

Cheers,

Jools

Will do thanks.

Ambiacus hmmm I will definitely check that out. The pics are mine taken with a canon 500D. I have no idea about ...

Hi Everyone, hope all are well?

I am new to the site but do frequent other forums. I am currently on a quest to purchase as many different cory as possible, the problem being I am moderately new to them and LFS are not the greatest when it comes to correct identification. I was wondering if you ...

Hi guys and gals.
