As usual, there will be tons of great food. The BAS supplies basics: a roast turkey and trimmings, baked ham, desserts, coffee and soda. Our talented BAS members bring their favorite dishes and desserts, delicious hot dishes ranging from pasta, chicken, sausage & peppers and salads, plus an array of fabulous ethnic foods. It’s a sit-down dinner with members, family, and significant others. The doors open at 7:30pm and the buffet dinner starts at 8pm. So please wait because we need time to set up arriving dishes on the buffet table; if you jump the line, you may miss some fantastic dishes! We also play fish bingo with aquarium-related prizes. We honor members who have served the Society for the past year and members who have written articles for Aquatica with awards and a prize book. Plus, this year we have received nine awards from FAAS , the Federation of American Aquarium Societies among the awards is a first place award for our publication Aquatica . It’s all great food and fun...and acknowledgement of members who have served our Society in its one hundred and second year of Educating Aquarists. Mark your calendar now -- December 13th, and start thinking of the dish you're going to donate to the party. The party is held at the Education Hall of the NY Aquarium.

Spawning Method: Egg-layer Corydoras (AKA cory cats and cories) are very hardy and make good beginner fish for a community tank. For species tank, the dwarf cories do better. There are generally 2 types of cory, the dwarf cory and the normal cory. Brochis are not cories. The dwarf cory is great for nano tanks because it usually remains less than 3cm long ( about 1.3 inch). They do well in community tanks too and the only special care they require is not putting them together with aggressive fish like Cichlids. Dwarf Cichlids may do well with them occasionally but avoid them if you can.

The objective of this study is to analyze the productivity of bronze corydoras Corydoras aeneus ornamental fish through increased stocking density with biofloc technology. The average weight of the experimental corydoras was 0.61– 0.72 g with 2.32–2.40 cm standard length. This study used a randomized design method with biofloc technology treatment in 3000, 4500, and 6000 fish/m2 stocking densities. The results showed that the daily length and weight- growth rate among treatments were not significantly different (P>0.05), while survival rate and the number of fish production on all treatments were significantly different (P<0.05). The water quality during the rearing period, such as temperature, pH, alkalinity, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, were in a tolerable range for corydoras culture. The total suspended solids tended to be higher due to higher stocking density. The best productivity using biofloc technology obtained from 6000 fish/m2 stocking density.

  • Corydoras Aeneus (Bronze Corydoras)
    UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology Corydoras aeneus (Bronze Corydoras) Family: Callichthyidae (Plated Catfish) Order: Siluriformes (Catfish) Class: Actinopterygii (Ray-finned Fish) Fig. 1. Bronze corydoras, Corydoras aeneus. [http://www.planetcatfish.com/images/mid(r)/siluriformes/callichthyidae/corydoras/aeneus/1.jpg, downloaded 13 February 2016] TRAITS. The adult male bronze corydoras is around 6.5cm long, the female is slightly larger at roughly 7cm. This size difference occurs because the females have a larger abdominal region (Khoda, 2002). There is a very sharp barb which is present in the pectoral, anal and dorsal fins. There is brown colour on the head and green on the upper sides, and the body and fins can be a bit yellow or pink. The stomach region is white and the head and back of the fish are blue-grey (Fig. 1). The fish is armoured with overlapping scales, and it has barbels around the mouth (Fig. 2) (Elson and Lucanus, 2003). DISTRIBUTION. This species is widely distributed and native throughout South America (Fig. 3) ranging from Columbia and Trinidad as well as the Rio de Plata (Elson and Lucanus, 2003).
