    Wow, what a collection. My favourite corys are sterbai - so cute.

    They must keep your substrate pretty clear of scraps

    Thanks

    I love Corys ( as you`ve noticed ) The sterbai`s ive bred many times in a 4ft tank but many of my corys arnt breeding atm in the 7ft.

    Yes they keep the substrate clean but im not happy with that substrate atm , it is a 1mm natural brown and i feel its still too sharp for my cory`s barbels so in around a month im taking a week off work and changing the substrate out to tahitian moon sand , which is a nice fine jet black sand, this should look great in contrast with my large amazon swords

    Will be moving on the venezuelanus,aenues "gold shoulder" and polystictus soon and putting in a group of 10 adolfoi and then i will be happy with my cory collection

    Cheers

    Thanks , i think the dinner plate along with a few forks always give people pause when they see that in my tank until i explain the zuccini and live blackworms that love to burrow in substrate !!

    Very nice little fish. Are the "gold shoulder" the same as "neon gold stripes"?

    I have 10 C. weitzmani, 13 C. trillineatus and 4 C. melanistius. Wanting to get some neons stripes, C. arcuatus, C. adolfoi and C. robinae.
