Which corys do you have?

ravekiss · 07-14-2005, 08:21 AM

What species of corys do you guys have in your tanks and how many of each? If you have pictures, post them. Please include the tank size! I'm falling in love more and more with these little guys even though I am having a really hard time with them at the moment.

I had albino cories and they were awesome! But my discus were rather evil to them and picked them apart. I couldn't figure it out for a while til I woke up and one was still alive but had no eyes, it was terrible. So now its just discus in there..although they are supposed to be ok w/ those in their tank. But they are fun little guys to watch and soooo cute!

I have 3 albino cories in a 55 gal. I will be getting 3 more soon. Heres a pic of them. If you look hard enough you can see the other one behind the rock.

2 Bronze (corydoras aeneus)
2 Albino (corydoras aeneus)
2 Peppered (corydoras paleatus)

They're in a 20 Long with white sand, along with 5 tiger barbs.

I'm going to try and find a home for my barbs and get some more, but I'm not really pressed.

Current diet is live bloodworms/blackworms (wouldn't recommend for a gravel tank) and sinking shrimp pellets. I want to try some algae wafers.

They are very active swimmers, they love swimming through the current, and constantly sift through the sand. They were a little skittish when I first got them, but now they swim all around my hand when it's in the tank. It feels kinda funny when the suck on you, meanwhile the barbs do the same and they bite at the bubbles that gets trapped on my hairy arm - it was cute at first but it's kind of annoying especially when I'm not expecting it.

my plan for some for my bettas' tankmates fail... I can't afford room for bigger tanks. h_sheltie, the albino look cool

Lydia · 07-17-2005, 08:37 AM

I have 6 panda corys (Corydoras panda) in 90 liters (about 24 us gallons) tank. Nice little fellows.

Bigger panda in this picture is my oldest cory, about 6 years old.

Fishfreaks,
Check out my video clip. You'll see 2 colonies of Barbatus sapwning at the same time...in adjacent tanks! http://fishnut2.com/BarbatusSpawns.mpg
Max,
All my tanks are bare bottom, and I've spawned over 60 different species of cories!

**Fishnut2** · 07-22-2005, 04:01 PM

eaRasian32,
Not much to tell, other then they are cold water cories. (72F) The video shows it all. Courting/feeding frenzy/T-position/female carrying eggs/actual spawning. The video was made for teaching about cories. It's all there if you know what to look for.

fishfreaks · 07-22-2005, 06:26 PM

wow, thats awesome fishnut2, what do you do with all the fry?
