Pygmy Corydoras; Cutest Things Ever?

[CrazyDiamond88]

I'm totally head over heels for mine. They're friggin adorable. They live in a 12 gallon (8 of them) with my betta, Kasai.

Those are really cute, but are you sure they should be living with a betta? Most bettas tend to be aggressive, but I have heard of some fish that can live with them.

He is fine with them. I made sure to do a lot of research before selecting a tank-mate for him.

I had ember tetras in before with him, but they were not fine. One of them kept nipping Kasai's tail. I found him dead when I got home one day. I assume Kasai snapped at him.

snap. Well at least he has the Cory's as friends now.

Very cute! Corys are great tank mates for bettas since they usually stay in a different level of the tank and are not aggressive
Do you have any more pics?

 

[CrazyDiamond88]

Ah they're adorable!

  I keep stalking my LFS trying to find pygmys but there's never any there

OMG, they are so cute! They sound like a joy to have too!
 
Though, TBH, I think Dwarf Puffers are the cutest with Pygmys being second
 
FTS?

 

[CrazyDiamond88]

They are hard to find unfortunately

Dwarf puffers are cute I agree!! What's FTS?

Here's another shot 0

FTS = Full tank shot, if you see a word that has a dotted underline you can scroll over it and it will have the definition there
Another adorable picture!

  Love 'em! I often see them resting on top of anubais leaves when I turn the light on.

 

[CrazyDiamond88]

Naw. Mine rest on the glosso leaves, too sweet.

Here's a FTS.

I am getting concerned; I can only ever seem to count 7 at one time.
I haven't found any bodies and they do hide well... But still I'm a bit worried.

Kasai did I think kill the tetra that was incessantly nipping him but he isn't bothered by these guys...
Am I worrying too much?

Your tank looks great! I love the driftwood.
