Hi JC, If you are feeding microworms on buffering substrates I would suggest using a petridish and pipetting the microworms in there. I currently have my spawning group of C.panda, breeding pair of barbatus, yet to breed group of C.schutlzei Black and yet to breed group of C.cervinus in with shrimp. Having shrimp there have not distrupted spawning of the corys that have spawned. I am thinking about introducing some shrimp into the tank of C.septentrionalis Colombia group as they are very skittish and I was suggested to use dither fish in with them. So I am going to use dither shrimp ? Most of my tanks are sand, half sand half bare or bare bottom tanks. I have bags of shrimp substrate but they are still sealed under one of the racks! lol

Hi Serkan, Have you tried breeding the corys in shrimp tanks? Keen to hear your view. I find the microworms tend to fall between the gaps of the substrate especially for buffering substrates which are a larger grain size compared to e.g. sand. I have been breeding them in bare bottom tanks but any good tips from you would be helpful. Cheers, JC

@KillieOrCory Thanks! Getting keen now ?

Habrosus are very gentle corys. Chances are during feeding time shrimp will get to the food before, unless the corys figure out where you drop the food and they sit and wait there ? The tank should work really well with those two. I find the habrosus corys (and the other two dwarf species) like being fed microworms and I am finding the shrimp really like them too.

This is the Information I found on this Shrimp so far. Called Golden Dragon or Calceo Bee Shrimp, is a crossbreed whose background is still unclear. We suspect that the Yellow King Kong shrimp crossed with red Shadow Bee have laid the foundation. But also the red tiger could be with the part. It is distinguished by a beautiful bright yellow / red color, which is easily reminiscent of a tiger shrimp. Any other ideas???

Keen to see your progression! I will be endeavoring the journey of shrimp and cories soon :) Mine will be painted fire reds with habrosus cories. Do you have any tips or anything to watch out for? I think what im most concerned with is feeding time LOL I guess they will scavenge on left over foods and algae? Thanks :)
