Exciting!!!! :D

My newest one, a baby green aeneus cory.




And here is the baby snuggling with my green peppered cory. And that is nemo lurking in the background, my clown loach which the peppered plays tag with.


And yes they do snuggle with each other. Looked in one night and watched the pepper snuggle right up to the little one. It was so cute.

OMG they are adorable! This makes me even more excited! ;)

Warning, they are beyond adorable and each one you get makes you want to get more >.< I want a panda one...

I am getting 3 peppered(i have sand) and upgrading later :)

ok, probably getting my cories after thanksgiving. Any ideas on special requirements and care?

what should i stock up on?

[LebronTheBetta]

I thought you already knew their care.. Just the usual, shrimp pellets, and algae wafers. What do you mean stock? 4-5 is good. :)

From what I read, you seem pretty well prepared for your new guys!

As for stocking up all you really need is to make sure you have plenty of food, since corys are eating machines!

Quick random reminder, remember that corys don't have "scales" they are what you would call "plated." So be sure to never put salt in the tank, and most other medications unless it specificly says its safe for corys.

I am so excited for you, make sure you post pics when you get them!

thank you! i will! I know, i had to restart the tank anyways to put the sand in 2 weeks ago, so there is no salt or medicine....unless my filter media picked some of it up....

i will and thank you!

BTW, LTB the sand looks beautiful and settles quickly!
there is alot of "alage fuzz rolled up in balls" all over my plants, and then they fall into the sand, it is very unsightly. Is there anyway i can avoid this?
