New Cories!

[Aquamick]

I went to my LFS yesterday to stock up on food, filter sponges, etc, and had a little look around. I found some beautiful Corydoras rabauti, so I went home thinking. This morning I went back and bought all six, for £8 each. That may be slightly expensive, but they're lovely fish, and are shoaling a treat after just a few hours in their new home!

First of all, this is the tank, a 70litre:

Here are three of the six C. rabauti:

Now, here is my breeding/isolation/hospital tank, complete with two thermometers, one of which is new, the other being checked for any problems:

Her's the 70litre again, this time a view of some C. schwartzi in the plant pot, with C. paleatus and C. rabauti by the cabomba (behind the white quartz):

C. paleatus female , looking very fat and (hopefully) full of eggs...

If you look at the back glass here you can see two C. rabauti swimming back down after taking air at the surface. As I said earlier, they settled very quickly.

One of my C. schwartzi, who I suspect was coaxed out of his usual hiding place by the C. rabauti:
