    Pot,Kettle,Black comes to mind, we will refresh shall we, you said from the start and continued to do so in saying my method was wrong, then you flip, flopped on your statements (mostly regarding filters and o2) and then eventually said...what was it....       It speaks for it self really.  ...

This really will be my last post now because this is getting very silly..... the fact you have gone and found evidence which has no relevance to the original topic is preposterous.   The quotes you have actually posted are referring to an ecosystem type scenario which revolves round a planted...

    In all fairness i didn't say they wouldn't hence the highlighted section...... but infact there natural behaviour is hanging around in shoals of thousands and if intimidated/scared/threatened they will go and hide.   Tank behaviour on the other hand encourages them to feel far more...

  Firstly I didn't say you were twisting anything lol.... secondly, your previous comments were completely the opposite to what you initially said regarding filter efficiencies and o2 levels.... so yes you have stepped back/change your story or whatever you want to call it..... we will leave...

I guess you could always say though, if your cory's were having to hide, the tank mates that they are housed with are not suitable.... but somewhere for them to find shelter is never a bad thing   To the OP, ive had rams many times with cory's and 90% of the time they leave each other alone...

  It's not that I don't get what your saying but rather what your initially now trying to say?..... for me reading all this, it sounds like you have taken a step back in regards to the above comment.   This was your initial statement which started the whole oxygen in the water and it being...

Yes there is reports of cory's actually breeding before they die aswell, considered to be a population control, to spread there genes/bloodline and keep the population to a maximum..strength in numbers.... but, that comment is still irrelevant because my cory's have bred after a bare bones strip...

  I did initially think this mate but the spinal/back marking from the pic are consistent with a CAE.   More pics will confirm but i'm 90% sure CAE

First of all, I would like to say...techen, this is a really nice post, very informative and certainly worth some more research on, I still want to challenge some of the comments because it's in my nature to explore every possible aspect...when I do disagree with certain things that are claimed ...

    For general keeping purposes you would be fine with 78 :)

    2 foot 60L+ bare minimum... ideally 90-125l and bigger if you go for a group... just be aware though, they prefer they temp in the low 80's

Are you serious? ARGH! Im not too happy now. Sorry mate, i was half asleep this morning when i wrote that lol... CAE is what i meant to write

Firstly i would just like to clrify that this wasnt a witch hunt, i was guenuinley interesting in something within your comments that i had never herd about before and wanted to know more, somewhere along the line you seem to have mistook it as a dig at you .   But... i will answer you below...
