my albino cory a bit too active, keep swimming high n low.

did u put plants? if make like a natural habitat, they will definitely enjoy it.

I have plants in my take and a drift wood but not planted. My albino corydoras lay 12 times eggs but i didnt manage to keep them alive. All the fry died after 2 - 3 weeks.

i see. sad to hear that, looks like most of ur fishes spawn quite easily.

i onli have one albino corydoras n 3 panda cory. my albino cory too hyper active, kind of a peace destroyer, guess i will be giving it away soon to make the environment more peaceful in e tank.

I was thinking of adding a couple of clown loaches and a school of tetras (neon or cardinal, not decided). Any advise?

Hi DrTech, you may want to consider white cloud mountain minnows as your guppies' tank mates. A few years back, I used to keep a group of 8 with my 3 guppies. When fries were born, they didn't even attempt to take a bite. And I read somewhere that these minnows won't even eat their own spawn even though they are egg-scatterers just like zebrafish. Besides, they look somewhat like neon tetras too... with the somewhat neon looking lateral line.

Interesting. I'll go look around and see. I'm not really concerned over protecting the fries The population explosion gets crazy after awhile...

Wow,they actually sprawned?I ever tried but no success.Cos i like panda look cool to have a trio.

Sorry to hear that.Maybe need to separate the fries also?

Have separated the eggs once the cory dropped. The eggs did hatched out all the tiny fry. but when they grow till abt nearly 1cm then they all died.
