Self-poisoning in Corydoradinae Catfishes

It would defo be better. They are shoaling fish that defo do better in shoals with there own species.
The bigger shoal the better.

 

@DoubleDutch i shall go and see if i can get more sometime.

 

Great. You'll love their behaviour in larger groups !!!!!

 

Just be careful. Bronze and peppered cories can hybridize. So just remove eggs or feed them as snacks

 

well they are with 3 cichlids so they might have a problem breeding. but will keep an eye out for it. they cichlids leave the cories alone but cant garentee the same for eggs.

 

Good man.

 

Sorry @Slaapkousie : that is not correct.
Aeneus and Paleatus don't hybridize !!

 

Sorry haha you are right. You can get hybrids from bronze and pandas but are rare. My bad! * but hey so we learn thanks @DoubleDutch

 

Doubt that as well. Pandas and Trilineatus can defo !!!

 

My head isn't with me today meant peppered and panda can. There is proof of that. Guy bred some interesting looking ones.

 

Anyone here know where to find affordable sterbai cories? Ours go for r90 locally

 

I like to see pics @Slaapkousie cause these Corys are to far apart genetically and too different to hybridize to my believe.

I think we shouldn't hybridize Corys btw.
Mother nature made the natural ones beautifull enough. I am keeping different Aeneus-ones seperated so they won't ever.

 

i got mine for R70 from wild on pets in edenvale

 

But think we go a bit off topic, aren't we ???

 

Hybrid Corydoras - 43183 jip we did. So anyone actually lose cories to their own "poison"?

 

Totally agree with you. I always try avoid any fish that can interbreed or hybridize. Keep it clean strained I believe.
