To be honest, they could be anything to me!! The guy was just listing names!!! As long as they tell me pretty much what they are and exactly how to look after them and whether they're ok for my tank im happy! :D He said the peppered cory and emerald thing are just like my other cories to look after and the upside down "thing" should be just like my bristlenose! :D pretty much...lol
 
The emerald catfish looks like a Giant Corydoras catfish. They aren't really corydoras, I think they call them Brochis Im not sure tho.
 
Just looked on some websites. The emerald catfish's 'scientific name' is Brochis Splenden! So he should be what i thought he was. It is related to cories :)

Whatever he is, he's adorable! :)

Oooh, managed to talk the guy at my lfs to sell me all three for £12 (they were supposed to be about £20) Is that a good price for those fish? Or was i ripped off?!lol

Jess
 
Thank You! :) They are really cute! They seem to have settled in really well already!! :)

When i get my bigger tank ill probably get some more, id never really thought of getting them but i love them now!! They're such little characters!! :wub:

Jess

Finally managed to get a fairly clear picture! Emerald Catfish with little peppered cory behind him... SO cute! :) lol

:D Cute COries and Your upside down cat's a hoot! Mine and yours are identical...maybe long lost brothers/sister? :blink: lol Anyway really nice pics Jess :kewlpics:
 
Hey,

Thanks! :D My upside down cat is cute, but he doesn't really do much!! Just kinda swims around every now and then and pesters my bristlenose pleco!! The emerald and the cory are SO active though, they're adorable!!! :wub:

I cant help thinking that my upside down catfish looks kinda like th thing at the end of 'The Fly'...lol Its not the most attractive fish!! Cool though! :D
