I purchased two corydoras from my lfs we dont know what species they are (the tag had gone missing of the tank)
They are fast little s***** it makes it a problem getting a good photo.


PS. half of the tank bottom is fine sand and they choose to go on the gravel !!!!

That looks like your typical Green/Bronze Corydora(aeneus) By far the easiest to take care of. I have one female that is 12 years old and still breeding!

Don't know how the price compares but they were £4:50 each.
My wife loves them.

Good choice, BLACK DOG. If you can add a few more it would be a good thing. Unless your gravel has sharp edges, it will be OK for the corys. It's the bigger gravel that causes trouble for them.
