Those are awesome pics!
Are the bloodfins new? Looks like their coloring hasn't totally "filled in", yet...

I'm a HUGE fan of all the Characids, but these are ones I've actually never kept...very nice, but they'll be stunning once colored-up....

Those close ups are excellent! Tasha wants to steal your corydoras. I won't stop her.

Thanks!

(She will have to get past the whole gang if she really wants them. )

I'm not worried about her. Lol.

Which tank is this? I honest don't know what all you have.

Would you mind sharing with us what you are using for substrate? I like the size of it, but the question is "Will the corys like it?"

I really want to avoid sand if I can avoid it.

And I love the photos, btw.

I use Quikrite play sand. It's an excellent size for Corys and it's also really cheap. (Look at Lowes/Home Depot - I got mine at $5 - 50lb bag)

Why do you want to avoid it? IMO, it's better for your plants and easier to clean.

Finally was able to get some decent photos of the stock in my 20g long tank. Enjoy!

If you look close enough, you can see little ridges on it's head. Probably some of the most detailed fish photography I've done.

So, the substrate in the aquarium above is Quikrite? I like it, and it's not as fine as so many sands. I'm definitely going to look into Quikrite. Thanks!
