Cory questions...

Cool video! I didn't realize the schools got that big in the wild!

I wasn't planning on actively breeding the cories. My tanks just seem to have a way of generating fry

That's just one bad experience I've heard out of many...

wow haha did not know that. thats a shame because i was looking to get a few plants from there and some fish but i definitely will not be now. thank you for the info before i made a mistake! any other sites like azgarden only with a better reputation?

Boughtthe corries today. Ended up purchasing almost all the store had. They actually didn't have everything but they had most, here's the setup.

20G guppy tank - 2 panda
20G molly tank - 2 spotted
29G tetra tank - 4 green

The owner couldn't figure out what I was trying to do with all the corries until I explained that I had multiple tanks. Given the amount of fish I've purchased there in the past I thought he had already figured out I had at least a few tanks. LOL

Corys need to be in groups of 3 at the very least.

Unfortunately I ended up purchasing almost all the corries at the LFS that day. He had them separated one per tank. The only other corries he had were a tank full of albinos but I've never really liked those ones so I left them. If I can find another couple I might pick them up.

I'm actually kind of hoping in the back of my head that they will breed. Which would be nice and probably produce more fish than I would ever need.

Okay. Good.
