[Fishy_7]

As the Thread Title .... Looking for a couple to go ito my Arcadia Arc - 35litre. I know cories are generally not large but I don't want to stunt their potetial size. Thank you.

Among the smallest are habrosus, which I have and like, hastatus and pygmaeus. All 3 of them only get to about 1.2 inches which is about 3 cm at adult size.

Hi, thanks for the recommendations ... don't think I have noticed them in my LFS though. Do they go by other common names?

Thanks.

All 3 seem to be called pygmy when they are in the LFS and they are not very common locally. I have a very good LFS about 50 miles from home where I got a few and I filled out the rest of what I wanted by ordering from FLGUPPIESPLUS. I don't know if they ship internationally.

Since you are in the UK then trimar is a mail order fish shop with a very good reputation. They currently have c.habrosus, c.hastatus and c.pygmaeus on their tropical stock list. Each of these are the most well known dwarf cories and each reach 1".
