With some tetras it can be difficult to tell the difference between the male and females when you get them. Even later. The same if you get them when they are are young.

They all survived and all...

A recent addition of 11 tiny lively minnows. About a week ago I saw online that a store in our area has "Asian Dwarf Cardinal Minnows." In looking them up online, I found they are sometimes called...

Yes, last night one of the girls was literally lying on it's side at the bottom (must have been a female), under camoflage and the guys found her again. Poor thing! She survived tho!

Thanks! That's what I am thinking. Previously the tetras I have had for any length of time are rummy nose, who don't mate in captivity as a rule. So I wasn't too sure. But they were acting a bit...

Tonight my Penguin Tetras (10 of them) are going crazy. Yes, sometimes they nip at each other or one of the other fish in the tank. But tonight it is a wild chase all over the place up and down the...

Yes, and in your 90 gallon tank you should have plenty as long as your rule of inches of fish per gallon applies and is not too over crowded.

I used to have a Betta I called Data (I am a Star Trek NG fan).

Do you name your fish? Please share!

I usually don't because I like shoals. How do you name 15 rummy nose tetras and 10 penguin tetras? But recently with 3 new cory fry I have found myself naming...

Cory Catfish, I thought salt was harsh on corys. So it's OK for them? Would you put some in the QT water? Haven't needed to do that but just wondering for future reference.

About a year ago I scraped some eggs off the glass and transferred them to a little bowl treated with anti-fungal. I carefully hatched and grew about 6 fry to a little less than these guys are. I...

Pandas are a little smaller. You should get at least 3 the first time. Do not get just one or two. There is also a very small cory commonly called a pygmy cory.

Thanks Lady Hobbs. I appreciate your voice of experience so much.

Lady Hobbs - there are 2 pink fish in the top photo which are white cloud mountain minnows. I posted that one also in the Other fish Other section. They were sold to me as golden but I think they are...

Good to hear from you, Lady Hobbs. I have not posted in awhile. Guess I need to research what black beard algae is. I don't know. I do scrub off algae every tank cleaning, off leaves and ornaments....

I recently bought 8 white cloud mountain minnows I special ordered, told they were yellow white clouds. But they were pink instead. It seems that they might be meteor white clouds. They have longer...

I have 3 cory fry growing up in my tank, but only 1 is in these photos. Sorry the photos are not crisp. Mostly it shows size perspective with an adult. These are photos of one of the 3 males, not the...

About 3 days ago I saw 2 fry in close proximity. Today after cleaning the aquarium, I saw 3 at a time!

Corys are my favorite fish! The 4 adult corys I have had from the beginning (3 years ago). I...

This evening I noticed my peppered corys seem a bit jumpy. After watching them a little while I realized the little guy is shoaling with them. They aren't use to that evidently!:hmm3grin2orange:

What a great idea! I appreciate the information.

So pleased that I have seen the little guy the past 3 days at feeding time.

I know, isn't it? I had special ordered the yellow and picked them up the day they arrived... they were all white because of the transition trauma so I didn't really realize they were all rosy till a...

Hard to get the pics but this one does show their rosy color. Especially the one on the right. A lot depends on where they are in the tank and the light shining on them. To my understanding, it is...

My heart skips a beat and I inhale a deep satisfying breath whenever I spot an unplanned baby fish in my tank. This morning feeding, a cute little 1 cm peppered cory showed himself briefly. What a...

Glad to. I will try to get some shots with the morning light tomorrow. I tried yesterday but they move so fast it is tough for me to get a crisp photo. Just a pink blur mostly...

OK so this is totally wrong and should be placed where I started... "other." I bred regular white clouds before but never noticed eggs.

I do have a dwarf gourami and they get along together.

Shoot... I am so sorry - meant to put it under livebearers. On an unfamiliar laptop.

I put the question under other a couple days ago and got no response. I don't think they are well known...
