inchworm, unless i'm mistaken, we already had a really BIG cory fan here (judging by your list of cories!!!! )

thanks for the info guppyman! they look like really great fish!

Really striking, Inchworm. Quite a nice find. I get a crew when you get overrun.

You're right, the Aquabid picture is awesome. My fish never look like the photos. In some cases they are better. I like the Pulcher #3 in person better than the pics.

I like when if you sit still the cories come up and look at you. They are so cute!

 

[Polardbear]

Oh, those are so pretty! I'm never going to be able to make up my mind on what to get next!

Hi Polardbear

It is hard to make a choice. I have the same problem, and that's why I have so many.

Just when I think I have a fantastic variety of colors and patterns, here comes another one to catch my eye. I think one of the most amazing things about them is that, with just a few exceptions, they are all natural fish. It's truly amazing when you think of all the little creatures in the world, isn't it?

So inch, will you ever be offering any of your cory fry for sale They are lovely little guys. Sometime you need to do a whole thread of all your cories and your set ups, show off the collection.

 

[Polardbear]

Not only is the variety of "natural" types amazing, the fact that they still keep finding/identifying new variants just blows me away. I still can't get over the lasers, I just can't imagine them swimming around in a river.

So I've got my next acquisition narrowed down to this - it will be a non-spotted variety. So far that has me looking at Adolfois, Melinis, Arcuatus, Virginiae, Peru Gold-Shoulders, Lasers any color, Melanotaenias, and last but not least, Duplicareus. No problem making a choice there!

Oh, Inchworm, My cories are now coming up to the front of the aquarium when I come and gathering to watch me. They are like little puppies that have learned to sit when they beg. They do so love the black worms.

I agree. You have some really great cories. How many tanks do you have? Its fun to watch the board and see a new thread of yours with new cories. I hope to have a collection like yours one day.

Keep up the good work

Thank you for all your kind comments, everyone! I was wondering if I might have been overdoing it with all my threads lately, but I'm happy to see that you enjoy them.

As for selling the fry, I usually sell my bronze and albino locally, to my lfs. Now, however, I have a nice batch of black C. aeneus growing up, and don't know what I'll do with them. These fish are not the kind of species that are usually found and I am thinking of selling them on AquaBid or to people directly. They are still young and I have a few more months to think about it. Frankly, I'm very nervous about shipping them, but after all things usually work out well.

I hope to improve my photography skills (or get some lucky shots ) ) over the winter and add some corys to the fish index.

I already have a new cory, C. pulcher waiting to get introduced to you, but I can't get on PhotoBucket to put up my pictures. As soon as I can, I'll start a new thread. I also have more corys coming and am talking to someone about getting a few of a very special and unusual species.

Now I want you all to know that I enjoy reading threads about your corys too, and look forward to seeing a lot of them in the next few months. And too, remember that in South America our autumn is their springtime. This is the natural time of year for corys to spawn, and I'm sure many of you will be successful at raising fry of your own. I hope you will all share pictures and helpful information with the rest of us cory fans.

 

[jollysue]

Yeah!!! Pics!!!

I was thinking it would be fun to start a thread with pics of the members various corey tanks. We would all be entertained, learn more of each other, and share some new ideas.

Hi jollysue

That sounds like fun! Why don't you start it up?
