<div>Hi there, thank you for all your edits! I would note though, you didn't need to go through each Corydora page to change them as they were all pointing at one group description, Category:Corydoras/Tankcompatibility, and it was only that where the wording needed changing. If you see anything like that that needs changing across lots of profiles, do message me! --[[User:Catxx|Cat]] 09:28, 13 July 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
No problem, and sorry about that, I thought there was one area for that but couldn't find it. Thanks.<br />
It's now 4-6 or more? It needs to be just 6 or more.... 4 isn't enough.<br />
<br />
The ideal is over 6, but 4 can work, not ideal, but can work. The more the merrier of course. We try to match most other "correct" websites which go with 4-6 or more. --[[User:Catxx|Cat]] 11:57, 16 July 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Well... as a compromise, how about 5-6 or more?<br />
<br />
:Think we could go with that! --[[User:Catxx|Cat]] 08:42, 20 July 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />

{{Basic fish page<br />
|origin=:Throughout northern South America and Trinidad. Also found throughout the Orinoco basin, although some authors believe that Orinoco specimens may represent a different species. The photographs above are all of H. plecostomus from the Orinoco basin. Weber (2003) restricted distribution to coastal drainages of the Guianas<ref>[http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/_species.php?species_id=580 Planet Catfish] - Distribution</ref>.<br />
|sexing=:Mature males have large pectoral fins that turn a reddish pink. Mature or [[gravid]] females will be wider in the mid-section when viewed from above.<br />
|tank_compatibility=:Keep with large tankmates, can be kept with semi-aggressive Cichlids. Do not keep with other Plecos as they will be territorial towards one another.<br />
|diet=:A scavenger, keep the diet primarily vegetarian. Will graze on algae. Bogwood is beneficial in their diet.<br />
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day, will be more active after lights out.<br />
|environment_specifics=:A large, heavily planted tank with plenty of hiding places, such as [[bogwood]], is ideal. Always allow your Pleco somewhere to hide away from any more active tank inhabitants.<br />
|behaviour=:The Plecostomus is a good scavenger and is renowned for sucking algae from aquarium glass. They tend to be nocturnal and prefer hiding places such as plants, rocks and bogwood in their environment.<br />
|identification=:This is one of the most common pleco species sold at pet shops and must be one of the most commonly returned when it has outgrown the tank. However, as larger plecos tend to be in high demand for those with larger tanks, this is not usually a problem. This fish will require a tank length of at least 6 feet (1.8M) in length eventually. It can be hard to tell the difference between this specific pleco and other very similar species. The ''[[Pterygoplichthys pardalis]]'', for example, is often also labelled as the Common Pleco.<br />
<br />
:This true plecostomus can be quite sandy to dark brown in colour with a clear reticulated pattern across the body, the markings larger on the body and through the fins but smaller on the head.<br />

{{Basic fish page<br />
|sexing=:Males are larger and longer while females are shorter and more bulky.<br />
|diet=:An exclusive carnivore, with a only a stomach to digest protein, thereby lacking intestines to digest carbohydrates, etc. Protein takes a very long time to be completely digested. Prefers scaleless benthic fish (eg. juvenile ''Clarias spp.'') & earthworms to crustaceans/spiny fish.<br />
|feeding_regime=:It is better to '''under feed''' this fish e.g. 2-3 meals weekly, every other day & not more.<br />
|environment_specifics=:The aquarium should be dimly lit or by utilising floating plants. It should be spacious and well-filtered with plenty of hiding places.<br />
|behaviour=:Sedentary & prefers to remain motionless/camouflaged. Nocturnal & somewhat photophobic. An ambush predator with excellent camouflage, rendering it almost invisible in the right setting. Predatory, mainly piscivorous, living off benthic fish that wander to close within it's mouth. Can swallow prey almost as long as itself, but is not aggressive nor territorial by nature. Solitary creatures.<br />
|identification=:Head-profile from bird's eye view is typically bell-shaped, which tapers off into the rest of the body. Body colour tone is brown, ranging from the colour of dried blood to rusty brown. Rarely mottled/speckled, with a uniform body colouration.<br />

{{Basic fish page<br />
|origin=:South America: Amazon, Tocantins, and Orinoco River basins.<br />
|sexing=:Males are slimmer than females and have a more pointed dorsal fin.<br />
|tank_compatibility=:This fish does not play well with others and is best in a species tank. It will eat smaller fish and take chunks out of larger fish. It may possibly cohabit with armoured catfish provided they are both kept well fed.<br />
|diet=:This fish should accept most meaty foods and has a good appetite. A diet of foods such as shrimp, mussels, cockle, lancefish and earthworms is welcomed, live fish are not necessary. Some individuals may take some dry foods, but not all.<br />
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. This fish has a huge appetite so be careful not to overfeed.<br />
|environment_specifics=:The Blue Whale Catfish prefers a laterally spacious tank with a good current flowing through it and good oxygenation, either with a filter breaking the surface or a powerhead. It is unfussy with décor, large rocks or bits of sturdy [[bogwood]] will suffice. It does not appreciate bright lighting, a dimly lit tank is best.<br />
|behaviour=:A large mid-swimming nocturnal predatory catfish. It is said these fish will shoal in the wild, but this has not really been seen in captivity.<br />
|identification=:This fish earns its common name well, the body is elongated and stream-lined with a very rounded head. The dorsal fin is relatively small and pointed and the eyes are small. It is silvery-blue in colour, paler on the belly.<br />

|sexing=:Mature females will appear more full in the belly than slimmer males. Can be tricky to visually sex.<br />
|tank_compatibility=:These fish must be kept in a group of at least 5 or 6. They are very small and peaceful and should only be kept with similar sized peaceful South American fish such as [[Neon Tetra]]s. They will not do well with boisterous fish and may be eaten by larger fish.<br />
|diet=:These fish should accept most sinking foods including pellets and wafers, they relish live foods however such as [[daphnia]] and [[bloodworm]].<br />
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
|environment_specifics=:These fish are best kept on a soft sandy or small rounded gravel substrate as sharp substrate can damage their barbels. They are best in a South American biotope set up with dense planting and [[bogwood]]. The appreciate some current but not strong, enough for the tank to be well oxygenated, and they should not be in a tank with very bright lighting without having somewhere to hide.<br />
|behaviour=:A peaceful bottom-dwelling fish that is best in the company of its own kind.<br />
|identification=:Similar in shape to its cousins, the [[Corydoras]], the difference being that Corydoras possess only a single fontanel (opening) in the top of the skull, while Aspidoras have a dual fontanel. It is slightly more elongated still with barbels around the mouth. The body is cream in base colour with mottled dark grey markings that vary in shape but can appear like irregular diagonal bands on the flanks.<br />

|diet=:Will eat sinking live and frozen foods as well as catfish tablets or pellets.<br />
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
|environment_specifics=:Prefers a spacious tank with hiding places and a large footprint, they also prefer a tank with at least {{in|18}} height, so tall tanks are ideal.<br />
|behaviour=:Brochis and [[Corydoras]] species are peaceful shoaling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 or more of their own kind.<br />
|identification=:Looks similar to [[Corydoras]] species. Usually has more rays (15-28) on it's dorsal and a longer snout then a Cory. Colour may be dull grey, blueish, or metallic green. Adults have clear fins.<br />

{{Basic fish page<br />
|origin=:South America: Amazon River basin.<br />
|sexing=:Female is larger and has large [[pelvic]] fins. Difficult to breed in captivity.<br />
|tank_compatibility=:They do well with [[Corydoras]]. Is a good community fish that thrives well with peaceful tank mates. To avoid stress, keep this fish in groups of 6 or more of it's own species.<br />
|diet=:Will take most foods, must be sinking as this fish will eat off the substrate. Will take flake, pellets, frozen and live foods.<br />
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
|environment_specifics=:Soft rounded substrate or sand, planted aquarium is preferred with hiding places.<br />
|behaviour=:A peaceful bottom-dwelling fish that needs to be in groups of 6+.<br />
|identification=:Looks like an over-sized [[Bronze Cory]] with rich emerald green flanks. The main difference between this and [[Corydoras]] species is it's size and how wide the dorsal fin is. Other Corydoras species usually have 6-8 rays on the dorsal while ''C. splendens'' has 10-12 rays.<br />
