Re: Do corydoras catfish exhibit rolling or flicking as natural behavior?


I'm inclined to think this isn't normal behaviour and could be indicative of a disease. To better understand what's going on, it'd be great if you could provide clear pictures and a video of the corydoras exhibiting this behaviour.

If you could upload the videos to YouTube and then copy and ...

Do corydoras catfish exhibit rolling or flicking as natural behavior?

I've noticed my corydoras exhibiting this behaviour where they flick and almost roll down at the substrate, and it's happened quite a few times since I introduced them to the tank.
It seems to be substrate-specific, as I've not seen them do it against plants or any of the tank equipment, which got ...

Emperor tetra behavior: peaceful or territorial?

I've come across a lot of conflicting opinions about this fish, especially in community settings. Some people swear by them, saying they're a dream to keep, while others claim they're complete bullies. I'm curious to know if anyone here has firsthand experience with this species.

Re: Keeping glowlight rasboras (trigonostigma hengeli): any experience?


I've had the pleasure of keeping these rasboras for over a dozen years now, in a couple of different setups, and I must say, they're quite fascinating creatures. One thing that might be worth noting is the tank size - could you tell us a bit more about that?

Regarding the water parameters, I ...

Re: Keeping glowlight rasboras (trigonostigma hengeli): any experience?


I've never had the pleasure of keeping hengels, but I do have some experience with harlequins - they're lovely little fish. They thrive in large schools, are incredibly peaceful, and display some beautiful colors. Soft water is definitely their preference, so investing in a reliable liquid test ...

Keeping glowlight rasboras (trigonostigma hengeli): any experience?

For the sake of simplicity, I'll just call them "the rasboras" from now on. Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone out there has experience with these fish and can offer some insight. I've had my rasboras for 34 days now, and I'm eager to hear about your experiences with them in both community and single ...
