Proud Father Shows Baby Pictures

[Cory_Dad]

This one was born 02/11/08. He looks nothing like either of his parents. I wonder if my son switched them while I was on vacation?

They can probably be moved to the 60 gal. pretty soon but like every parent I'm hesitant to let the kids go out into the big wide world. Ya, I know "Get a life!".


These others were born 02/25/08. The previous batch looked very similar at this age.

I'm still trying to get the hang of my macro lense but these were taken with a 'normal' lense fitted with a +4 diopter filter. I seem to be getting better results with the diopter filters. Now if I can only fix the lighting.

I assume the spotty little fellas are the "elegans" fry. But who is that first one It's not like any I've ever seen. There has been some unknown hanky panky.

Wow - he really does look different.

Exactly. They are from the same mother. But as I mentioned, the big ones use to look like the tiny ones. I have around 7 or 8 that size and they all look quite similar. I only have this type of Cory (did we all agree that they are Napoensis?) so I have no idea what happened. Maybe they'll change as they get older.

Now, I didn't actually SEE the eggs of the big ones being laid. But I only have 1 female Cory so it has to be her. Unless she's been fooling around with the Danio Zebras....slut.

They are cuties whatever they are.

From my feeble research it appears that IDing napoensis and bilineatus is greatly dependent on knowing the location of the parents' catch. In the end it comes down to ypur guess is as good as any, but the best guess is napoensis. That was what I finally came up with. Mine are in the same boat and a postive ID is dependent upon iding the location where they were caught. There are several species like that. Then they get in the tank and who knows.

I saw "longer fin paleatus" as a label on some fish in the lps the other day. But they did not look like the line bred long fins. I was tempted to guess that they are longipinnus or a cross.
