🤧 BROCHIS SODALIS UPDATE 🤧

It is with regret that we announce the passing of two individuals from our initial colony of six. The cause of their demise is presently unknown and can only be speculated upon. Fortunately, the remaining four individuals are thriving, exhibiting excellent activity, feeding habits, and coloration. We expect to receive two replacement individuals from our preferred supplier, Wet Pets , and are confident in their superior quality. Images and video footage of the remaining four individuals will be shared soon.

Next update: Upon arrival of replacements.

Our Male Papua Orange Spotted, also known as 'Blueberry,' Snail is thriving. Three new offspring are in development, and we will share photographs of them and the female when they reappear at the front of the tank. The retained breeding pair is healthy and continues to produce offspring at regular intervals of every other week. Next update: Beginning of March

💥GASTRODERMUS ELEGANS UPDATE💥 Our six little bundles of joy are now around 8 or 9 months old and are finally getting this party started with some spawning behavior! They're rocking great activity, fabulous coloration, and are total foodies - they chow down on everything we give them, but let's be real, tubifex is the real MVP. We're all about that garlic extract life and Vita Chem is their BFF. These little critters are also total wave riders - they love swimming in the wave maker's current! We're keeping our fingers crossed for a clutch in February, stay tuned! Next update: Late February

We have added a starter colony of 6 B. Sodalis to our breeding program for a spawning challenge. It has been suggested that they are difficult to tank spawn. We are seeking confirmation from the community regarding this claim. Have any community members successfully spawned B. Sodalis? If so, what advice or guidance can you offer?

We are procuring the Swiss Tropicals Mattenfilter system for three of our 20L fishroom tanks, following a recommendation from Yussuf Z Shahalemi . It has been suggested that this filtration system is optimal for breeders, and we are interested in testing its efficacy. We would appreciate feedback on your experiences, whether favorable or unfavorable, with this filtration system. https://www.swisstropicals.com/filtration-shop/mattenfilter-shop/

The highly anticipated guide to Corydoradinae identification has finally arrived!!! I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to IVAN and HANS-GEORG for their unwavering dedication to compiling this comprehensive guide, and to ERIC for facilitating a smooth transaction, expertly packaging, and efficiently shipping.

We currently have eleven Cw010 Gold Laser in a 20-gallon high tank on a temporary basis, awaiting the completion of their 40-gallon breeder tank. The fish appear to be roughly four to six months old. We expect to initiate spawning by early Spring 2025. The tank will undergo renovation, including the replacement of gravel substrate with pool filter sand, prior to the scheduled arrival of our breeding colony of eight Osteogaster Hephaestus in late January.

Gold Laser feeding after successful spawn today!!!

We currently have eleven Cw010 Gold Laser in a 20-gallon high tank on a temporary basis, awaiting the completion of their 40-gallon breeder tank. The fish appear to be roughly four to six months old. We expect to initiate spawning by early Spring 2025. The tank will undergo renovation, including the replacement of gravel substrate with pool filter sand, prior to the scheduled arrival of our breeding colony of eight Osteogaster Hephaestus in late January.

We are currently observing the breeding habits of two species of fish. The Orange Venezuelan, acquired from Wet Pets , has spawned twice, yielding a high hatch rate but also high mortality. We are attempting to determine the cause, which may be attributed to age or maturity. The H. Panda, also obtained from WetPets Dothan , has yet to spawn. We suspect that age, maturity, and tank temperature may be contributing factors. To address this, we plan to relocate the H. Panda to a species-only tank and adjust the temperature to 74°f -75°f. Our goal is to achieve successful spawns with low mortality rates for both species by early spring 2025. Please note that the tank appears dirty due to the presence of Snello, a food source for our Mystery Snails.

GASTRODERMUS ELEGANS acquired from Wet Pets for our breeding program. Healthy, Active and Great coloration. We project having them spawn for us by Summer 2025.

Osteogaster Bronze Aeneus Fry Hatched 12/16 Egg Count: 102 Hatch Success Rate: 98/102 Total Count as of 12/19: 95

Hiplosoma Panda and Osteogaster Venezuelanus. Juveniles of both species available and in stock!

WC Gastrodermus Elegans out of Medicated Quarantine. Starting our breeding program of these beautiful Corys with colony of 6( 2/F 4/M) We are conditioning them now. Hope to have Fry soon.
