How are they doing now?

Hi Iceegrl

They are all doing really well thanks. One of them isn't growing as much as the others, but still looks healthy. The rest are bigger than my pandas in the tank, which are over a year old already. Still full of beans and really gorgeous. Loving their grindal worms and frozen tropical mix (from what I can tell, it's got bloodworm, mysis, brine shrimp in it).

I'll try get some more pics up of them. They are really hard to photograph, darting about and being so dark.

 

[ICEEGRL]

Cool. I know what you mean about hard to get pics. I finally have albino fry, but the pics are almost impossible to get. They have totally blown my mind. I really want to know how it can possibly be so hard to find a bright white fish on black sand!
When I do finally spot them and get my camera... it won't focus on them! I guess they are hard for the camera to see too.
These things should not blend in with black sand... but some how they do. I will never understand it.
Hopefully you can get more pics soon. They are really beautiful fish.

Hey, Jason. I had 2 giant spawns of these last night. Prolly 300+ eggs. Only problem is - I'd say roughly 10% are viable. Still If I get 30 fry, I'll be happy. - Frank

first time seeing black corys and i want them already.

Finally got some more pics of the brats. They really are stubborn when it comes to taking pics. Mind you, those Concolors tend to tear the tank up and upset them all (scaredy cats).

Not too clear of the black cory, but you can see the Concolor well

Don't look too much at the scratches on the glass or algae

And my tiny little black cory, who isn't growing, but still darn cute

Hope you like em

How big are they? I love their little whiskers.

I think the concolors are jealous of the pic taking. They are probably taking it out on a passive-aggressive rant on the plants!

 

[AlexAndCarmen]

Thanks JS

Yeah, those Concolors are funny things. I have tried to take pics of them, but they dart about like maniacs with the poor pandas and Black cories hiding. The only fish not bothered are my 2 L134's.

The biggest of the Black cories is about 1 inch now. They were less than half that when I got them. They've grown so fast. Just the one little guy not growing.

Saw your new batch. Gorgeous lot Sue, lovely fish.

Silly fish

Yes, you have some gorgeous plecs.

Yes, I am delighted with the shipment.

So I should ask for update pics on the concolors? I think Barracuda has concolors?

Hi, does anyone know where I might buy some black corys from? And how much they would be

 

[AlexAndCarmen]

Hi Joe28

I bought mine from Sp00ky on this site http/www.####.co.uk/. He hasn't got any at the moment, but email him and ask. He has got some Concolors coming in, I have some of those and they're just as gorgeous.

Thanks Barracuda518

They are gorgeous. I had waited what felt like ages to get these and haven't been disappointed. Have I seen pics of your Weitzmanis?? They a gorgeous cory too, stunners.

Those are pretty. When I raise my betta spawn I'm going to try C. Aenus.
