My Last What Is It Post! :)

[abgeezer]

I have been buying my fish from a Home Hardware in Canada and they have no idea what they are selling and I have no idea what I am buying so once again, can someone please identify these little guys for me.

they're definately corydoras just not sure what type. Very cute though x

corydoras schwartzi

Yes they are C.Schwartzi. That gravel isn't the best for them as they can lose their barbels which is a sensitive organ that they use to search for food.

Thank you all for the name!
@bozza, what would be the best for them?
Now that I know the name I will check the net to see what I can learn about them, but I appreciate all tips about care

Have a good one

i would say sand is the most ideal for cories. it looks great in the tank too.

Thanks much Straydum, I seen some really nice silica sand the other day that I thought would look great in my tank so I guess I will go get some now.
I seem to be collecting fish with barbels (Catfish shark, plecostomus, corys) etc so the sand will benefit most of the tank.

thanks everyone for your assistance
