Here are more pictures of the first one. I can't seem to get a clear picture of this one.

Hello, I got two Lamontichthys llanero a month ago, which were sold to me as a pair. They measure about 20cm including the tail. However, I have a big doubt about the sexing. What do you think ?

Ok thanks

Good morning,
I currently find myself invaded by hydra. I found this product: https://www.onlineaquariumspullen.nl/en/sl-aqua-z1-aquarium-bio-protector.html?srsltid=AfmBOoowZlfkl-2LJIh2NsAkNVmmg7g03J5i2avNUhmyuMoLeL_nuurW
What do you think, particularly about the toxicity for corydoras and ...

Hi,
UV yes it is a module that I can add to the filter outlet (so the fish are not directly exposed to it).
I monitor the water quality. For food, I try to vary: bloodworms, fish (pangasius cut into small pieces), pellets. If you have other ideas I am interested.
For the decor, I am adding stones ...

Hello,
I have just recovered 4 S. granulosus that were kept with large cichlids and a tetraodon. So two of them are missing part or all of the adipose fin.
I have had them in quarantine for 3 days in a 450L tank and I notice that their fins are very frayed. They eat well and have no other problems ...

ok thank you

the barbels are all white

Hello, I have the opportunity to recover some synodontis granulosus. With the hybrids that are hanging around on the market I prefer to be wary. I know that they come from "Bauman" in Germany. I only have one photo for the moment, I am waiting for others. What do you think? Hybrid or pure strain ...

Hello, thank you for your answers.
So I will separate the fish that seem healthy to me. For those with symptoms, can I put them all in a hospital tank? Or do I still have to separate them according to the original tank?
If the treatment is available in Europe, I should be able to get it. Thank you ...

Nobody ?

Hello,
I am currently suffering from the damage of a disease, which I think, arrived during the introduction of several corydoras to which I did not quarantine (and which were the first to have the symptoms) more than a year ago.
Today, I have 3 affected tanks, each time it is the corydoras (the ...

@Mexnotex : Thank you for your response, I still haven't found his ID.
I see on the sheet that there is only one photo. Where can I find others to compare with my cory? Photos on the internet are not always well labeled...

I haven't had any other deaths since the last post. I will still do the second part of the treatment because it must be repeated 2 weeks later for the nematodes.

I looked for Ruinemans and I can order from France. On the other hand, I find that they have very little choice in terms of catfish...
Otherwise I have a wholesaler near me who offers acclimatized fish (so not just in transit), would this be a good solution?
On the other hand, he told me that it was ...

Having treated with esha ndx, what other treatment do you recommend?
The last victim died yesterday. I'll try to take a photo of the remaining 3 if you ever see something that I don't see.
I noticed yesterday that there was one rubbing itself and I find their gills very red. Reason why I had treated ...

Good morning

I come to you because I am having a problem with only corydoras habrosus.
I got the first ones a few months ago, picked up from a private person. I kept them for a few months and suddenly they started having the same symptoms one after the other:
-difficulty swimming
-weight loss
So ...

Thank you for your answer.
There is no particular character that could differentiate the two species apart from location?

Hello, I really need your help to identify this little guy. I can't find congeners for it if I don't know what species it belongs to.
If there are any distinctive signs that do not appear in the photos, do not hesitate to ask me.

Hi

I bought a cory but the saleswoman no longer had the name. In order to find its congeners I would like to know its species. I'm thinking of Corydoras nanus, what do you think?

Good morning,
when I went to the pet store I saw that they had C. adolfoi. Already having a duplicareus, I immediately noticed that one of the 3 in the pet store was not an adolfoi but I have my doubts about the other two.
Here are the photos of the pectoral spines of the 3 specimens purchased.

Thanks

Good morning,
I finally found a wholesaler who has hypostomus basilisko and who can sex them for me for sale.
To be sure, I would like to have your confirmation (or not) that mine is indeed a male:

My phone takes good macro photos, could that be enough?
I can have access to a professional quality microscope (I have to check if I have the right to use it but also to take a slide. On the other hand, how do I take the sample? The corydoras are in a weak state but not dead. If I observe it under a ...

Nothing ?

hello,

I am having a big problem with my corydoras. A few months ago I welcomed 5 wild corydoras duplicareus and 5 farmed panda corydoras.
During quarantine I noticed that some were developing symptoms:
- weight loss
- red gills
- difficulty breathing
- change in color (the creamy white ...

Good morning,

I think I have found the cause of the problem: I have a very fine soil which is possibly fermenting.
I noticed air pockets in the sand, I tried to pierce one and it doesn't smell bad but I still have my doubts.
I can temporarily move my fish to other tanks.
However, how long should I ...

He had trouble breathing this morning so I preferred to put him in a hospital tank with a slightly stronger bubbler.
I'm going to treat it with a broad spectrum treatment (esha 2000) and I hesitate to put cattapa leaves. Do I also need the worm treatment?
I'll take a nitrite and ammonia test at the ...
