So I recently added some nice wood and rocks to my 10 gallon aquarium it’s looking great and all the fish look happy.

The guppies are going great I have a trio of Emerald Moscow’s both females are pregnant and one is due to drop in a week or so.

I also bought some Corydoras and am wondering about a weird silver blob on one’s stomach I believe she is the only female as she is larger than the others anyone have any idea on what it is? She is an albino bronze Corydora. 

Here’s some photos:

Well if it is a female I guess there’s a chance that she could be holding eggs. Just a guess.

Found the following photo on the internet, comparing males to females. You can see that bit of silver in the female.

Yeah I haven’t been able to find anything on eggs with just a quick search.

I just realised all of the Corys have the bulging silver belly is it a disease or are they constipated?

Always good to get some photos!!!!!!

I am not an expert on Corydora, I've never had one but have doe a bit of looking around. I would say that the fish looks pregnant and it looks 'alarming' as it is a grey/black colour on an albino fish, but most cory are grey so it wouldn't notice as much if at all?

I found this video which may be helpful,

There was another very short but not very good video where they put the pregnant fish in a breeder box and then when the fish had the eggs they put the fish back in the tank. That would make getting the eggs a lot easier?

Hopefully the fish are just pregnant and not sick?

Wow would that mean he has 4 pregnant fish? Maybe you need to get a male now Blaze and get the eggs fertilised! I thought cories were a little harder to breed, but that would be awesome. I don’t know if @KillieOrCory is lurking and has an opinion from experience?

Yeah I don’t think they’re all holding eggs but it would be cool if they did.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
