Hey Rachel I bought 2 salt and pepper corys from my mall pet store here in Edmonton and I've had them for a few months my water was hard so I added some rain water and did a 20 percent water change and boom I got Cory eggs everywhere I look, so I think they like rain water

Would cleaning a tank bother a Cory into releasing their toxin? Have one in a 5 gallon with 4 neons and a betta. Thinking of going ten so I can get more cories for him and maybe a few more tetras.

No, not generally- and the dilution would make it a nonissue. It is generally only a problem in small volumes of water- like shipping bags.

Now this is how these guys should be kept!! When I first got started several years ago (when I knew nothing lol) My lfs had these guys and I asked if I needed a big group and they said no, that 3 was fine so I took them home. On another note they also said I only needed a few pygmy corys as well but the 3 I got NEVER hung out together so I went back and got more and now I have about 20 pygmys. They are always together and SUCH A PLEASURE TO WATCH! Unfortunately my lfs only got more salt n peppers one more time since and someone bought all but one which I of course brought home but he didn't make it a week so I still only have 3 and really want more. I have 2 females and one male and I would love to see them in a big group to get to see more natural behavior like my pygmys. Do you sell these guys I hope? I would love to get at least 10.

I lost two panda Cory in a week but I did do a water change after the first one die. Still have 8 of them but movement not a lot. But they still eat so far. The second one when I took it out has white pimple on its face so not sure what is the cause of death. I have a few plants and only two small albino pelco in the tank.

scottishduck88 - 7 years ago
I love my habrosus. I have 3 females and 5 males (the females are at least twice the size of the males). You mentioned that they will eat their own eggs and might not be good with shrimp. I have them in a tank with red cherries and the only time I see them eating a shrimp is when the shrimp has died off and the cory gets to it before I do.

How common is it for these fish to spawn in a community tank? I wasn't trying at all, but I'm pretty sure I saw a small wriggler fry about 2 weeks ago, and I think it was from my cories (nothing else would be swimming on the bottom like that). It was <5mm long though and unfortunately I disturbed its hiding spot so I'm certain he's been eaten by something by now.

Is eco-complete safe for corydoras catfish? A reply is appreciated.

Also how do you feed them, I have kept other cory species years ago and had trouble feeding them?

And would they be fine in an open top aquarium (20 gallon long)?
dajoke24
dajoke24 - 8 years ago
+Rachel O'leary Thanks for the reply, I don't want to go on long as I'm sure you're busy. If I decide to get cory catfish which species would do fine on eco-complete. Also is an open top aquarium completely fine for cory catfish or are they known to jump out? Thanks again.
Rachel O'leary
Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago
+dajoke24 eco complete is a little rough so it would really depend on what species, as they have different feeding and foraging behaviors. Feeding sinking pellets or worms generally works out well.

Rachel O'leary
Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago
+Sami S minimum of 8 is my opinion with these guys. Really depends on what else you have in the tank if there is room. If its otherwise stocked, add at least 2-3 more just for comfort, though you won't see best behavior with that few.

I love your corys! I am thinking of getting some albinos and have been doing research buy am getting mixed info on ideal temp.

sam pollard
sam pollard - 8 years ago
Which type stays smaller?
Rachel O'leary
Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago
+sam pollard That really depends on which species- C. aeneus (the albinos generally found) do fine as low as 21C (70F), Brochis splendens do fine down to 68, Scleromystax barbatus down to 16C (60F) while other species like like a minimum of 24C (75F) with warmer being much better. There just isn't a blanket answer as it varies greatly as cories are collected alllll over the place.

Corydoras are one of my all time favs. I originally bought 2 because they reminded me of zoidburg from futurama. The same 2 I originally bought Lived for close to 6 years. Moving from a 1ft by 1ft tank up as my tanks got larger. Till they were in a 4ft long by 3 ft wide tank. Their tank mates included Jack Dempsey, Sarratoga, Severums, a texas cichlid and at one point (before the Sarratoga) an oscar. They were never eaten and always looked in great health. I would highly suggest them for any freshwater tank. They may not be bright and colourful but are always out and zipping around like they just drank a whole pot of coffee.

Hi Rachel...I presently have bronze and peppered corys that are healthy, active and from which I have had fry (even in the planted community tank). I am planning a planted angelfish tank in which I intend to have half of the substrate as just play sand as I want to have another type of cory in there with the angels. (just angels and corys). My water here is 7.6 out of the tap and stable. I am in the subtropics and so tank temp can reach 29C (84-85F) in the summer months. Could you recommend another type of cory that would be okay in those conditions...thanks.

Have you ever had a "bad batch" of habrosus cories before? I purchased 11 to QT for my 20g long "nano" tank, but they all died in quarantine but of no apparent causes that I could see. Using a different tank but purchasing from the same source I got another 10 and they're all thriving! I purchased the two groups about a month and a half or two apart...since they were all wild-caught, could it be seasonality or something like that?
Abby Smith

Rachel O'leary
Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago
+Abby Smith I have, they are shipped SO densely (600 to a bag in a lot of cases when exported) and it can be hit or miss. One tip I do with them is to keep them in relatively shallow water if they are fresh into the country. This makes gulping air less laborious for them.

Great as always. I have a thought, but it may be a bit too much to ask--how about a "Species Suggestions for Nano Tanks:Couplings". Some of us Nano tank keepers have, well, small tanks and can't keep these huge schools that you mention. So what are your suggestions on stocking for truly nano tanks? Personally, I am having a helluva time with finding nano fish locally, and keeping a cleanup crew that can survive my very, very low PH tank. I have a 20High with lots of plants and driftwood, with a PH of <6.0-6.3 consistently. Otos, shrimp, and snails have all died. I'm at a lost for a crew.... Thanks!
Jean Rosa
Jean Rosa - 8 years ago
+Rachel O'leary
 Thanks so much for your response. I thought Nano was smaller than 20, but I'm going on information I've read that 20 is also considered Nano. Interesting point you made about the issues a lot of us have with attempted replication of the larger tanks. I would love to learn the rules of Nano tank husbandry! Thanks again.
Rachel O'leary
Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago
+Jean “thebklynblujay” Rosa What are you considering nano? Many of these species really can do well in small tanks, but in my mind, truly nano is under 10 gallons. The issue I think most folks have is that they want to duplicate what they would see in a larger tank, in a small tank. Nanos have their own set of rules, and multiple species are not often possible (if done well, in appropriate groups) though we could often do a species tank and house any number of fish responsibly. For instance, I also recommend 10 or more of boraras, which would be appropriate even in a teeny tank because of their adult shape and size.

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago
macmasteri aren't usually big jerks, though they do have big mouths. I would think it would be fine, though you would want to watch especially when the apistos are in spawning gear. These little cories have the spiniest pelvic fins (hurts like all get out when they jab you).

wow Rachel , minimum of ten,good to know . could that be mixed species or best just one type .
in the past my cories barbs fell off and they died.my water is hard and I used gravel some times boiled beach gravel mixed in.
any way planning a 55 planted tank with black Diamond and soil or maybe ecocomplete and my tap water . is there a type of Cory that would be ok in harder water and black Diamond if so can I get 5 at a time and build my colony slowly.
Hope you're having fun and making some money in Maryland

DW7887 - 8 years ago
I keep them together with Nannstomus marginatus - nice combination IMO. They spawned for me twice - first time I removed all other fish, and the fry and parents stayed together in the tank (see my pictures on Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Corydoras-habrosus-Jungfisch-Schnauze.jpg). Second time the fry is still in a net in the tank of their parents - was not able to catch all Nannostomus in time ;-) I think that these cories are not as durable as other - they definitely need a good filtration and reg. water changes.
