Hey guys so I have my 6 Peppered Cories and they had a lot of babies. I saw 7 together yesterday, but they're small and I have enough hiding places that there very well could be more. Anyway, once...

Very nice, it's tough to get a visible picture of those little guys. Really impressive to get two.

Those are some great looking Cories.

It's difficult them being this small, but after about 20 pictures I managed one where you can see one of the frys.

Thanks for the advice...

So I was looking at the tank the other day and there are at least 2 baby peppered corys. There were eggs a couple weeks ago, but I figured all the babies had been eaten. Anyway, is there anything I...

I just moved last week so I had to move the fish and I'm sure that was quite stressful. Somehow the paramaters are good though. Ammonia at zero, Nitrite at zero, Nitrate at 2.5PPM. Honestly I'm...

So I have 6 Peppered Corys in my tank, and at least one of the females is laying eggs because there are eggs in 3 different spots on the tank wall. Anyway, is there anything I should do to take care...

Looks like it.

At least this cycle is a whole lot faster than the 1st one.

None are too high on the card Nitrates 10ppm, Nitrites 1ppm and the fish look like they're doing well. And Ammonia...

Ammonia went out of control after the 1st post probably got to 4 or 5. Then suddenly today it's back down to 1ppm. The chemical I used was like ammolock just made the ammonia less dangerous. So, I...

I broke down and bought some stuff that's supposed to make the ammonia less toxic since it's spiraling out of control. The Nitrates/nitrites are still at zero, but I have a lot of plants which keep...

Sounds good, I'll get one tomorrow after work.

The poor Cory was looking good all day, now he's just hanging around upside down again. Hopefully I can save him.

I did a 3rd 25% change in 3 days. Ammonia is still about the same so that's bad news.

The fish that was staying at the top is now acting normal again so maybe hopefully he's over the hump.

This tank is about 2-3 months old. I fully cycled it, but just changed the filter cartridge when I added the new fish which might pull back the bacteria... I'm not sure.

It's 10 gallon with 6...

New behavior.

Now he's sitting on a plant at the top of the tank. No longer upside down, but he won't leave the top. I don't get it he's right under a light that has to be hotter than the rest...

I just got a couple new Corys in my tank yesterday. One of them spends a lot of time upside down at the very top of the tank. The water quality was good (Nitrate/Nitrite both at zero, Ammonia about...

I'm new to the aquarium thing too, and just put fish in my 10G about 2-3 weeks ago. I already wish I had a bigger tank, I had the perfect 10G setup in my head and when I got to my LFS I was getting...

So I added 2 Honey Gouramis yesterday, and so far so good. They apparently both decided to join the Cory school, I can't ever find them away from the Corys except at feeding time where I give...

You're almost there.

I just cycled my 10 gallon tank from scratch (no established substrate/filter) and it took me almost a month on the dot. You've got about a week left if you're on a 10 gallon...

Great job, I really enjoyed reading it.

Thanks everyone, sounds like I should be safe to add a couple more.

I'll probably go ahead and add 3 more Corys tomorrow. I'd imagine my LFS is closed down today.

I just checked the nitrates again, and I misread the color is kind of in between the 0ppm and 5ppm so it's probably 2 or 3ppm. That still seems low, but the weird part is I haven't changed any water...

Ok, so I cycled my 10 gallon for about a month and had all the bacteria up and about.

Then this Saturday I bought 3 Cory Cats and they seem to be doing fine in the tank.

I just tested my water...

That's definitely a cool looking fish.

That makes me feel better then. They're so active sometimes that I figure they can't be doing too badly.

So my Corys are acting kind of odd. They swim all over the tank not the bottom and one of them goes to the top of the tank and breathes air quite a bit. I don't have a bubbler yet, but only have 3...
