Cory pics!

They get startled very easily, so its hard to get a good pic of them. I will try to get a group schooling pic soonish.

Closeup


And to show you how small they are:


There are 11 in the tank, but they followed the Rummies into hiding.

I totally missed a photo opportunity last night. About 8 of them were at the front of the tank hovering.....but my camera was upstairs and by the time I got back to the tank, they had scattered. It would have been a great pic!

I'll be ready next time.

Thanks! I'm trying. Its hard to get a good pic of this tank because of the way the light bounces off the plants....makes the exposure out of whack. Its easy to take pics of the plants...lol....since they don't move like the fish.

Thanks Marty!

Yep, I'm planning on getting atleast 1 trio of Apistos for this tank....possibly 2 trios. Or I may do 1 trio of Apistos and a pair of Blue Rams.

I'll have to get a pic that shows how small the thermometer cable is.....it really shows how tiny the Cories are.

Most recent pic of the tank (3/11)


After a massive trim. Sorry I don't top the tank off. The Stargrass is gone. I got tired of dealing with it......I had tried it in another tank in the past and ended up trashing it then, so I should have learned...haha. The Bacopa is there temporarily. I don't like it in this tank, so I'm trying to find something better. I haven't trimmed the HM yet, but will be doing so this

I haven't bought any new fish just yet. I don't have the money to buy Apistos right now......shipping is killer. And, I haven't made it to the lps to look for Rummies....maybe in a couple weeks though! Life is crazy between school, work, my boyfriend, and job hunting so my tanks have been a tad neglected.

I'll post some better pics soon. I just haven't had time to take pics.

Drive to atlanta during ACA, you should be able to get just about any cichlid in the hobby.

That thought occurred to me recently, emc. I may just have to do that instead of paying shipping costs. Can you remind me of the date of ACA?

Its great fun to register and go to the conferences. But it doesn't cost anything to come shop and half the ads in ACAs trading post offer delivery at the convention.
