Hi, I love Corydoras eques, are they ok in water of 26 grades? Are more fragile than other species of corydoras? Are they a “small” species compared other tipe like Aneus ? Thanks
Great collection of Cory's. The image of the C Loretoensis and their barbles,is why I always recommend a sand substrate as it is less harmful too the barbles. Plus fish without the barbles will not be able to breed properly and have found that Cory's like to sift feed through the sand,which they can't do with gravel.
Ok you have c.duplicarus and c.trillineatus on the c.adolphoi the black is much thinner and not as yellow. On c.trillineatus the Mark's on the face more of a squiggly line and c.julli has spots. Beautiful Aquariums and collection,however I couldnt help noticing there were several groups of them with no barbals or very short nubs. This happens when the substrate is sharp ,eventhough its sand it's still sharp also the rock is very sharp and grind them down. I am telling you this to help your great collection of Corydoras. 🌿🌿✌
We currently have 28 species of corydoras in our fish shop. We have a lot of these, but I shall be looking out for some "Burgessi" when we next place our fish order, as they look lovely. Thank you for this video, it was well presented, with just the right amount of information. Just one very minor thing, it isn't really important, but the font, when displaying the names of the fish, is sometimes difficult for me to read. I know I can get everything in the pinned first description in the comments, but I only saw that after. Cracking video though, I loved it.
yes very nice and what I like is there are enough tanks that are not too big, I'm just returning to the hobby after several years and have seen fish rooms with many tanks with quite a few being large which is not the way I want to go. However, watching this video has certainly given me some inspiration and much to think about ? I have now liked and subscribed to your channel Paul from the UK
#3 is duplicareus, the line almost reaches the middle of the plates on the side. The zygatus could be rabauti, they are pretty chunky, but still young.
@@undersurfacechannel Sure! rabauti is shorter and usually taller, and has slighty more warm body tone. zygatus is longer, more slender and less warm. If you breed them the fry are VERY different. Google them and see.
I've got 9 different species of corys in my 55g. 20 in all. My newest are 4 gold lasers. Yeah they're super cool, but honestly my fairy corys are still my Fairy corys in the tank ...I just love their coloration and pattern
People are going to tell you that the way to tell a duplicareus from an adolfoi is by how wide the black stripe is down their back. But that is not actually guaranteed. You can rarely run across adolfoi with a wide strip and duplicareus with a narrow one. The way to be 100% sure is to look at the back edge of the pectoral fins. On a duplicareus, the edge is serrated and on an adolfoi, it's not. Those probably are duplicareus, but you can't tell for sure from this video. Also, those are trilineatus.
@mbroome thank you very much for this in-depth explanation 😊 I was only able to tell them apart based on the strip across their body. Interesting to hear about this fact, I will focuse on it next time I'll see them 😊
Thank you for this video. This fish room is absolutely stunning, as I love Corys, Endlers, and Shrimp. The plants look great as well. I'm pretty sure the endlers depicted with the Corydoras trilineatus are actual El Tigre endlers, not Lime Green endlers.
Thank you for your comment. Hopefully your corries, endlers and shrips are doing well 😊 It may be El Tigre actually as the breeder does have them as well 😊
Hi, I’m searching for type of Corydoras not too big and with a range of temperature near 24 ‘C and pH 7/7.5. I have also neon and Ramirezi .Can you help me in this choice? Maybe Adolfoi or Loxozonus. Thank you very much
Since commenting a month ago ive done some research and can confirm. Also learnt corydoras keepers discourage the use of that name for the species as it's misleading and leads to incorrect information. The color form is man made and doesn't exist in the wild. The species doesn't even come from Venezuela it comes from peru. Just thought id share some facts 😁✌
Yes, the black Cory's are schultzei. Corydoras venezuelanus have an orange patch on the head, a dark mid-body section followed by another lighter orange patch towards the caudal.
@@undersurfacechannelnot necessarily. An aquarist posted a video a few years ago where he kept corys over broken glass. The fishes did not experience any barbel erosion. I had this problem with my corys in a tank with smooth river sand after 3 years, there were no sharp edges anywhere. I treated the affected fish with an antibiotic and their barbels grew back after 3 months. Other breeders have reported having the same problem and they confirm that there is no correlation between the nature of the substrate and barbel loss. It's down to tank hygiene and bad luck.
