Which Cory Catfish like cooler waters???

[anewbie]

No, they're their own distinct species, separate from aenea. They've never been lumped under that as a synonym either.

And, they'll also cost an arm and leg too.

My old lfs had one of the lasers once, they were charging like $50 each

Very nice corydoras though, and worth the appreciation

The greens are more expensive but no where close to $50; the orange can be found for a *lot* less; vaguely i think i paid around $8 each.

I wish. Canada can be pricy for stuff, and not as much availability as other places, so some stuff is gonna cost more. But that lfs was also expensive. $16 per skirt tetra haha. They had to charge a fortune because of their rent was $10k a month for the Plaza they were in. They closed down during the pandemic and we no longer have lfs here in my city. Just petsmart. And petsmart you gotta shop smart with in terms of avoiding disease and poor stock.

This is a fantastic choice for this mix of fish, they're robust enough to be kept with larger fish and won't be easily startled either

right now I'm looking for a link to some dwarf Asian catfish that I linked a few days ago, to go along with working over the sand

Akysis vespa – Orange-Banded Stream Catfish, Wasp Stream Catfish, Wespenwels (DE) — Seriously Fish

www.seriouslyfish.com

these are right up my alley, but likely too small, so I'll probably just do a couple green dragon plecos in with this tank??? still thinking

Be wary, many are small and have spines so might not be an ideal choice with larger tankmates such as tinfoils, and many of the larger Asian bottom dwelling cats are territorial towards other bottom dwellers (your algae eaters for example).
