As Promised: Green Lasers Dancing More Pics

[jollysue]

The neon green lasers have been starting to pose:

Is this a face to love?

Peek-a-boo
Hey! Psst! What's going on out there? Is it safe?

Getting ready to dance

Tonight they are dancing. I will add those pics Monday morning--God willing

I have never seen anything like them before....wow!!! GORGEOUS fish!

They are awesome neon green lasers you have sue. I really wish they were in aus. Cause I rekon the neons are one of the bestest coloured corys.

i have x2 of those, never heard them referred to as neon green lasers though LOL, thats making a meal of it!!!!!

 

[jollysue]

Yes I know, but they do glow and are neon. That is just what my supplier calls them. Usually I suppose they are just green lasers.

 

[fry_lover]

they are nice for sure!

 

[ICEEGRL]

cool pics!
Thanks. You know how I love pics.
It looks like they are doing well. I'm really glad.

For once, as I promised, more of the green lasers:
(Sorry for all the reflections)

Is that fish smiling?

Come on, guys, get together!

All together now!

hehe! That was fun!

Take a bow!

Nice Corys,

I, too love them. And I can't believe how much time spend watching them swim in group in water current. I recently moved them from their own tank since I did want to change their substrate. And I am glad to see that there are still 12 of them. Anyway, so I thought I would put them temporary with 5 C.Similis and 5 C.Albino Sterbai until I clean and reset their tank. But now I'm not sure I would move them back since I see them more often and less skittish and swim together.

So I see white/pink, blue spot and green line. And they look nice. Maybe I keep them together since they are still young. Now I am thinking if I see any of them start spawn or eggs, I'll move them to their own tank but they can grow together for now.

BTW, I think Albino Sterbai don't see well judging from their behaviour. That kind of explain why I hear often that people say Albino Cory swim like crazy.

I like these!
They are so cool when they are dancing!

My lf albinos that you sent had stopped dancing. I moved the bubble bar away from the tank wall just a little, and put a bend in the middle so some of the bubbles come up almost in the middle of the tank. They are dancing again!
I go to sleep watching them dance every night.
I have decided that they are getting one of the new 20 long tanks to themselves. I love them so much. I really wish I could have gotten more. One of these days I am going to get some of their eggs to hatch and live. Then I will have more.

Do you plan on getting the orange lasers too?

Thanks for the pics! They are great!

Sadly, I accidentally turned the thermometer up hotter when I thought I was setting it lower. I noticed that some of the new younger ones were losing color, then some went grey and some got greenish yellow bumps on them. I thought I might have velvet, although I have never had velvet in any of my tanks. So I started with CopperSafe, salt (they were oxygen starved--sipping air), a bubble curtain and Maracyn Plus. Then I noticed that the tank was almost 80 degrees! I turned the heat down and pm'ed Bryan. He said, not likely velvet as Corys aren't prone to velvet. It is most likely columnaris from the high temp. So I did water changes and changed to a fungus/columnaris med. So far none are lost, and they are looking better--lots of color is back, most of the grey is gone, none are sipping air at the surface, although several stay in the bubble screen, and they are no longer swimming erratic. Tomorrow I will try to get the med that Bryan recommended: API Fungus Cure. I am presently treating them with Jungle Eleminator. I had planned on switching to Maracyn, but I will check out the API med.

Poor little guys. I hope they all make it.

I am only offering GelTek erthromycin. One of them is grazing on the hair algae! I may have a picture of him.

They are among the most striking and attractive Corys. I could easily be talked into a bigger group. I have them with a harlequin mix that includes some neon harlequins.

The whole tank is sitting out staring at me: Jari Zebra Plecs, C. simulatus pair, C. cudamaculatus crowd, and the green lasers--not the harlequins. lol

"Feed Us! Feed Us! And get this yellow stinky stuff out of our TANK!!!! NOW!!!"

They are gorgeous. I really hope they're all going to be ok. Blasted heaters. We've accidently turned our up before, thankfully noticing not long after, when the tank was warmer than normal. I've accidently switched mine off and forgot about it for 3 days. At least it was summer at the time

Good luck and hope they pull through. They are really striking.

Those are really cute! I have seen Orange lazer cories at my LFS but not green, I like them better.

The green lasewrs are looking to be on the mend today. Some are still a little itchy, but all have color again and are digging busily for worms. :=)

I want green lasers. I think they would like my tank, it is pretty and cool. It is unheated, all my tanks are. No need in South FL. Hurry up and breed them for me, Jollysue!

Pretty please.
