Corys!!!!

[Arashi]

Yeah. Impulse buy. I only went in to my favorite pet store to get some more carbon cartridges for my undergravel filter, and I saw that they had just gotten a whole new stock of fishies in...so I looked... The clown loaches were sooooo tempting, but I don't think my tank is quite established enough for them yet...
so...

...instead I bought three of these little cory cats instead! They were just so darn cute, I couldn't pass them up. Does anyone know what kind of corys these are? I think that they are corydoras trilineatus, but I'm not 100% positive.

And I do know that my gravel is a bit too big for these little guys, but I have plans to eventually change over to sand, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Anyways, here's the pics! Enjoy!

They're sensitive to high nitrates and bad water quality, so you should keep close tabs on them.

Inchworm has a site that should help...

This was too cute of a piccy to pass up. The plec and the cory. ...oh...don't mind the poop...

Thanks nina! I saw that you have skunk corys...those were actually my second choice for corys, and if they would have had some at the pet shop I would have gotten one or two of them. They are so cute! And really fun to watch...I'm getting a kick out of watching them.

Excellent pictures Arashi, like always Congrats on the new fish- they're adorable!

Yeah, My first choice was Panda cories but then when the store didn't have any I had to go with the skunks!

Very cute pic of the plec and cory! My little guys absolutely love their algae tablets! I have them in my 55 gallon though and since they are sooooo tiny, I tend to loose them quit easily! Especially since my gravel is white and they are white and black!

I think that they are agassizi's. I have two with my Betta chong they're very cute arent they
