Sounds to me like someone's never seen a rat

Just returned a bullying Gibbicep back to LFS and picked up 2 Peppered Corys to replace.

Oh my god these little fella's are really fun to watch , I sat for 90 mins straight watching them exploring the tank , straight out of the bag, no hiding or seeing what's going on, just straight out the bag and covered the whole tank in double quick time.

I voted that I hate them all. IMO they are very plain and ordinary. Why would anyone choose a cory over a pleco? I just dont get it. Unlike the regal common pleco, the cory grubs about on the floor. sorry, I hate them all.

U never had a cory so u wont know about them!...they explore the tank in groups, very peaceful and likes to play!!!!!!

well depends of what kinda species.......

oh and breeding them is so fun too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

imo all plecs are ugly expect fro the zebra plec

people choose cories over plecos because cories don't grow to 24" and put a massive strain on your filter. incidentally, why do you feel that spending all day slurping glass is "better" than spending all day digging in gravel?

so how would you know I never had a cory? Its true, but I work in an lfs and we stock both plecos and 3 types of corydora. and if it's a pleco, slurping glass is better than grubbing in the muck. Have you ever seen a fully grown common pleco with all his fins out, sailing around the tank? better than a cory anyday.

C. julii used to be my favorite, but then I got the best cory ever...C. leucomelas. They are absolutely wonderful little guys...so playful and curious. He gets along with everything in my tank. Not to mention he's cute as a button!

Here's a picture of him:

Cute huh?

These are the corys I've got, too! I know them as C. Melanistius or C. Delphax, but that's definitely them. I think they're the best looking corys, at least that I saw at my LFS.

Calm yourself. It's an opinion.

Has anyone here ever tried a corys-only tank? I guess it would be a pretty boring top- and mid-section, but it would be worth it!

I am planning to do that some day...when I have space and money *sigh*

I was going to have a big swarm of eithe C. Hastatus, C. Habrosus or C. Pygmaeus because they spend a lot of time midwater. Also make a sort of mid-level shelf out of slate and cover it with sand in the hope that they'd go on that to provide more activity in the upper level...

 

[plecoperson]

precisely. an opinion. that what the poll is for. why doesnt everyone lighten up? I wouldnt have posted if there wasnt an option on the poll saying "I hate all cories".

because i do. thats the end.
