Discus Fish Farm - Care
Tropical Fish Secrets Care: Needs a tank of 10 gallons minimum. Keep at temperatures of 75-79f. A peaceful community fish. An ideal algae eater for small aquariums. This catfish likes to be in groups of three or more. A nice feature about this catfish is that it is not as shy as most species. It can often be found stuck to the sides of the tank or grazing rocks and leaves during the day. Do provide a few hiding places just in case this fish feels like a little privacy. A dark colored substrate makes this cat feel more comfortable. Feeding: Algae wafers as well as some vegetables. Loves brown algae and driftwood. Sexing: Females are larger and rounder then males. Males have slightly longer fins which aren’t really noticeable at first glance. Breeding: You need quite a few otos to get them “in the mood”. They will lay eggs on rocks and leaves. Keep the water slightly softer to encourage breeding. Comment: Be very careful when acclimating this fish and carefully monitor its care the first 2-3 weeks. Many people have a hard time acclimating the otos and getting them to eat. Common Name/s: Panda Cory Scientific Name: Corydoras panda Origin: Peru, South America Maximum Size: 2 Care: Panda Cories do the best in nice, clean water. The temperature should be between 68-78, but I ve always found them to do best in water that s about 73 75. They cannot tolerate very high temperatures for long periods of time. The p.H should be around 6.5 - 7.4. with Panda Cories, They are one of the more delicate types of Cories. Sand is best for them, as they can go about sifting through it, and picking up bits of food. Fine gravel is also okay, but then some uneaten food can fall through, and cause bad bacteria, which can cause infections in the Cories. I ve found you need to do water changes pretty often with Panda Cories, more often then you need to for other Cories. On my tank that has Pandas in it, I do water changes 2 times a week. They also will enjoy caves, or pots, where they can hide. Feeding: Flake food, sinking wafers, and most Live/Frozen/Freeze-dried foods. I ve found Bloodworms, Brine Shrimp and Tubifex Worms to be some of their favorites. Sexing: Females are more robust. It s easier to see this, when you view them from the top. The male should look more streamlined. If you happen to catch them breeding, the female will be the one carrying the eggs around. Comments: Panda Cories are great little fish. They do well in community tanks, and they are very peaceful. Common Name: Peppered Corydoras Scientific Name: Corydoras paleatus Origin: South America Average size: In captivity they can grow to be 3″ Care: Peppered cories do well in large groups because they are a schooling fish
