Finially, I Have Corys! + Game, Spot The Fish

three-fingers · Jul 21, 2007

After years of resisting due to not having an appropriate tank, I am finally once again the proud owner of corydoras

. Nothing special, just some little bronze corys, each at 3cm. I just love corydoras antics, 'winking' at you, randomly shooting up to the surface for air, sifting through the sand, farting and friendlily following other fish around in groups

.
I have 5 of them, here's a couple of pics:

And while I'm here making this post, why not have a game? Can you spot the fish in the following picture?

im going with the first one that discuslova pointed out, looks kinda like a little BN plec fry or something to me...

Nice cory pics.

Thanks everyone

. I was actually going to get a shoal of Megan Fox too, but apparently that would be overstocking

.

Yep, DiscusLova spotted it in the first pic, but can anyone guess what it is? It's not fry of any kind (though now I can see that :hyper:

), this picture only shows part of a fish :good:

Cool pics. I got soms cories yesturday.
Hhmm, I'm guessing the fish hides in the sand then. Freshwater Flounder?

three-fingers · Jul 22, 2007

Not quite, far more common than that. Though I would love to keep a flounder, I've resisted buying the ones at my local garden centre because my tanks not suitable

.

Lets see if anyone can ID this fish just from the lips protruding above the sand :fun:

Bang on, that's some good IDing skills :hyper:

.

One day I will be able to get a good picture of him, he only ever comes out of the sand during the day for food, and on such occasions my camera is always out of battery

.

Thanks for the comments, based on the picture, they are all good guesses :good:

Cool.
As his confidence grows you should try hand feeding him bloodworm

Look forward to more pics.
