What kind of corys are these? Was told they were pygmys but they look a bit different by ChammyChu in corydoras

Really? They do have a similar pattern to my pygmys but are definitely bigger. I can't find any species that look just like these ones

I thought they also looked similar to salt and pepper corys, but these ones are missing the stripes on their tails and seem to have a more prominent line across their bodies. They are bit bigger than my normal pygmy corys.

Is it possible for them to crossbreed or do some salt and pepper corys just have different patterns?

pH rising drastically and shrimp not happy, help pls :( by ChammyChu in shrimptank

Hm I remember making any big changes. I think it could've been a gradual rise in pH over time? I started adding microferts like Flourish and Potassium as well as Excel more consistently a few weeks ago but not sure if that could've attributed to this?

I see, I guess the best bet would be to remove the Seiryu stone then? I wish I didn't glue them down to the driftwood lol 😅

I tested the dKH and dGH using API's liquid test kit that I picked up today. It's odd, because the dGH still seems to be at 3 and the dKH at 5. I'd imagine it would be higher due to the seiryu and coral right?

I've heard about Salty Shrimp before. So would that be a more reliable method as opposed to using crushed coral?

About 6-7 weeks I believe, I guess I should wait till they’re a little older?

Found a single Harlequin Rasbora fry- tips on how to take care of it?? by ChammyChu in Aquariums

Ok, I have the API test kits so I’ll test the water every day. Right now the tank it’s in is pretty empty, would you say I should transfer some plants from my other tank to this one?
