Wild Cories. Photos!!

[Aeonflame]

These are cories that I caught in a stream not far from where I live. Ive found their behavior to be very interesting and somewhat different from the ones you buy at the LFS.

They look great! Any troubles with them eating?

[Aeonflame]

They gobble down pellets and flakes. They especially love algae wafers and bits of cucumber.

Nice looking corys!
How many do you have? They are funny characters when you have about 7 of them.

They look great! What species are they?

[Aeonflame]

Ive got about 8 right now. Its hard to get close-ups with all of them in the shot. Im not sure exactly what species they are, I was hoping you guys would help me out =)

Beautiful fish! Do they grow to 6 feet? :hmm3grin2orange:

They look like bronze cories to me (Corydoras aeneus)

Nice fish and photos, Aeonflame. C. aeneus was originally discovered in and is native to Trinidad, and I'm pleased to see the environment there is clean enough that you can still find that Cory species in the wild there.
