Added more corys! Pics too

[lahlumdi]

Yesterday I added 2 peppered corys and 3 Black Fin corys to my already 5 peppered corys in my 55 gallon tank. It is amazing the difference it made to the five to now be seven. I've been noticing from this site that over 6 seems to be the magic number to get them to travel more in packs. They are so happy! And they have just taken the other three in with them as if they are all one big happy family.

The store indicated my new ones are Punctatus Corys. However, in researching it this morning, I think they are rather Cory Leucomelas, or, the Black Finned Cory . I am attaching a couple of my pictures. The three have adapted just fine. I used the drip acclimation method to acclimate them that Wild Turkey recommended and explained. (A couple weeks ago I lost 3 skunk corys I tried to add). One of them intitially wasn't happy with the friendliness of the peppered corys, but they have overall enjoyed being together. While the Black Finned ones do hang out together, they also assimilate in nicely with the 7 peppered corys too.

I like the skunk cories best, those are what I'm going to try in my 29g.

I've never owned any cories, but from what I have seen of them, I like the looks of Peppered Cories the best.

I just got into corries in the last year or so. They are fun little fish! I prefer panda corries. For me they were the only ones that school well. Unfortunately they cost an arm and a leg around here.

I agree that they are so expensive. The ones I just got I obtained for $1.49! I couldn't believe it! Most of their corys are $1.98 at this place... because otherwise I've mainly seen corys for $5-10.

I love them all. I have never seen a cory I did not like.

I voted for Peppered and pandas. I own 4 peppered and i love them! also pandas are just too cute! I love almost all corys, except for albino. I really dont like any sort of albino fish...

I like the Brochis splendens they are hard to breed but are beautiful fish.
