Rescued Cories

[Esfa]

In March my nextdoor neighbour broke her leg and we "looked after" her. She is quite old, and when she found out I kept fish, she asked me to look after hers. They really wern't in a good state. Her tank was about 15gal with a CAE, swordtails, 2 sterbai cories, guppies, 2 bn plecs, a chinese hillstream loach and other fish. I dont think she realised that you had to change the water...

Anyway quite a few had finrot, so I told her about treatment, water changes and things. I gave the tank a huge scrub down and bought her some plants and bogwood.

I went round to do a water change every week, and then she said because her tank was overstocked and I had been a great help, I could choose a few.

So I chose the male BN plec and the two cories.

Now my cories are in a 20gal, and have just started to spawn. But I thought the eggs were unfirtile (i read somewhere that they should be pure white, but mine were white in the middle and grey-ish on the outside?) so I fed them to my BBGs. Ah well, I hope they try again.

Inchworm made me do this haha

Inchworm has a way of doing that. I have a long list of "Inchworm made me do this" tales. Barracuda regularly gets me over to AquaBid too, and he knows I can't go there, because I am addicted. But Inchy has saved my sick fish, encouraged me to get several species (she and I went on a shopping spree on AB once!) She pointed me to bronze knowing they would spawn, and I would be hooked on collecting and breeding Corys.

So now I have a fish room! with mostly Corys! So watch out for Inchy she is contagious and knows and loves Corys.
