C. Paleatus is the “peppered” cory, while C. Habrosus is the “salt and pepper” cory. The common names are often confused even by those who have been in the hobby for 10+ minutes. 😉 Eric Thomas (not Thompson) should have a great presentation on Corydoras at CatfishCon. I’ve learned a lot from Eric and he is always willing to take time and share his experience with me. Looking forward to Jeremy Basch’s presentation as well. Dean is a natural. The two of you make a good team. 👍
You're right. He also say that the albino's are either paleatus or aeneus, but they can also be sterbai. I've seen them alot of times mistaken for aeneus.
I could just as easily proclaim "C. paleatus is the "Salt and Pepper" Cory, while C. habrosus is the "Dwarf Spotted" Cory." Common names are made up, and fishkeepers should learn the scientific names in order to understand what they are purchasing. There aren't right or wrong common names. Even the Neon Tetra goes by a different name in Florida because when they first started mass-producing them, they didn't want others to find out the secret to breeding them so they changed the name in all of the papers.
I agree Preston John, Dean is awesome and I love watching him! Love how Cory and Dean talk back and forth, almost like no one is watching!! Thank you Cory!
Got my betta from you guys, and I have fallen in love with him. Thank you so much for giving out good information, and selling healthy aquatic creatures
I must say I love that whole red Betta. It was my first Betta, Ish 6 months after getting him he got some blue also growing on him. That classic, but never getting old Betta. Also love your videos. If I'm visiting US once I need to visit Seattle, and this amazing store.
Discussing pricing made me remember working at a pet store in highschool. My mom thought I was crazy spending $50 for 5 Zebra Plecos. Sadly I lost them when a winter storm knocked out power for 3 days and my basement tank got so cold everything died.
I was wondering, i have a 20 gallon and a 55 gallon tank and i recently got a 10 gallon tank that i decided to use for a betta, and I was wondering if it's possible, to use some water from 1 of the tanks for the new setup, since it already has alot of the good bacteria in there for the current fish.
I want Dean to be my grampa and take me to the fish store on Saturday afternoons and buy me all the fish I want and then an ice cream for the ride home.
you look like my uncle and my dad combined and it’s freaking me out. I love your videos! Taught me many things about fish and essential things. Thank you!
Oh and do the tons of honey gourami idea!! That would be so cool. I only have one but once I learned the could live together well I’ve wanted to see it
Here in the Northeast US Corydoras paleatus are commonly called "Peppered" or "Pepper" but some stores mix it up and call them "Salt & Pepper". The Corydoras habrosus is most commonly called "Salt and Pepper" here.
My first aquarium was a gifted 55 gallon that sat in my garage all summer with nothing but substrate and an inch or so of water. I was surprised to find three living Kuhlis in it when I finally set it up after school started.
I'm with Robert on the SAE's! From my understanding and what I read online, that net pattern on them is how to identify a true SAE. I bought two for my planted 72 gallon bowfront. They are amazing!
The one that Robert showed in the unboxing was a reticulated sae. Where the scales had a black line around them. Difference between sae and flying fox: the flying foxes black line is smooth,and stops at base of tail.. There's a yellow line aabove the black line. A true sae has zigzag line that goes through the eye and tail. It also has more whiskers ( barbels)
I know this comment old , but I’m with you !!! I love my SAE! They’re gorgeous and there hasn’t been a speck of algae since I got them. They also don’t bother the other fish , just pick on each other every now and then. Lol
Aw I’m dying for albino red swords here! I see them once in a blue moon but they come in sick or torn up and I just can’t drop $15 a piece on a fish I have to try to nurse myself only to lose it
Serious question: I've been keeping tropical fish for 30 years now (Mostly cichlids). What is the difference between species conservation, and species exploitation? I see people taking trips to countries to catch wild-caught species, and keeping fish they have little business purchasing (red tail cats and the like). What is your philosophy?
Will you make old style vlog videos again? Your projects with the racks, pond, breeding, daily doses were the best videos ever! I watch all your videos regardless, but I love the daily doses!!!
