    I'm loving the cinematic, documentary style.
    Pygmy Cory's are some of my faves to watch.
    What are the water parameters and Temp in your Cory tank? I've not had any luck with mine yet!
    You inspired me to set up my own fish breeding room in my garage here in the UK. Wish me luck.

    I keep a 3 gal jar of green water. It has a clump of java fern and a few small drift wood pieces. Some pink ram horn snails, shrimp culls also. Lots of micro life.

    I just got a dozen C. habrosus and they are some of the most fun to watch fish I have ever had in my aquarium! You now have inspired me to try the same set-up with this other species. Take care and thanks!

      @@dusty8937 I remember watching that one where he set up the tank for Hillstream loaches, but then he could only find Borneo Suckers. Then he was able to get a few local ones because they’re illegal to import to Australia but he just showed putting them in the tank and not really how he bred them. I know he’s shown his baby Hillstream loaches in the vlog for his store, but nothing about his methods or any tips.

    Amazing little Cory's, in my tank they have never hide, they always had a group of 12 red phantom tetra so they were feeling comfortable to swim from the first moment they entered, they always like to swim with the tetras at the middle or they would be at the sand moving those little mouths

    Awesome, been waiting on this video for soo long haha. I have found that it is not as easy as you make it look Nick. I have had my pygmy cory's (group of 11) in a breeding setup for almost 3 months now and have had zero breeding activity. I am sure that all of them are sexually mature because I have had them in another tank for around 6 months before placing them in a breeding setup. Could you give some information about your water parameters, feeding and maybe other useful information?

    Haven’t had any success with these guys unfortunately. This video makes me want to try again in a specific tank maybe in an area with less foot traffic since mine are so easily spooked. I started with 4 a year and a half ago, then soon added another 8, unfortunately I’m down to just three now. I really do suspect it’s the location of the tank that’s stressing them out. All Ive got in with them are cherry shrimp (population is booming)

I hope you can help me out here as no matter what I do I can’t get the clear water it’s still so cloudy! I’ve tested my ammonia and it’s tested 0 and also nitrate test all good. I’ve got a air filter with different directional flows and also a airstone setup at the other side of the tank, I’m doing water changes every other day and my water is still cloudy what would you recommend?
