Uh Oh, I'm Falling For Corys

[LakeyGal]

How come it took me so long to realise how cute these little fellas can be, just got a group of 4 Sterbai 2 weeks ago and am already thinking about redoing the tank they went in and getting another 4... did hit eBay looking for another tank until the hubby raised his eyebrows at me - apparently 3 is enough

Hi LakeyGal

Corys are very cute and there are many different species of them to choose from. They have been the cause of many people getting MTS!

I couldn't agree more. Have had mine for only a month now (4 sterbai and 3 Pandas) I was intending on putting other fish in but decided not to as I've completely fallen for these little guys . So much fun to watch. They love playing in the flow together and I get worn out watching them

..... Must resist urge to give in to 'MTS'......

but...does it count if you already have a spare tank in the loft?

 

[Netty]

Definately get it down. It's such a waste having it in the loft. Just think how many more corys you could get

Here is a great site for cory pics. It is mostly in Japanese but this section has a lot of English.

Just a warning about corys causing mts...
I had 2 10g tanks and no corys.... no mts.
Then I got a used 29g for Christmas one year. I added 1 cory... mts began...
Now a few years later... I have 2 55g tanks, the 29g, 2 20g long tanks, a 15g bow front, 3 10g tanks, and I am awaiting the arrival of a 60g and a few small tanks...
I have run out of room and am now trying to stack them to fit more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are also several tiny tanks stuck here and there...
Mts can be a killer...

Perhaps we should set up a support group.....

Yep... that might be a good idea. We might need it for when the day comes and we have a break down over not being able to get any more tanks... lol
