funny little things arent they nice tank and 70 far out thats heaps

Wow, what a collection. My favourite corys are sterbai - so cute.

They must keep your substrate pretty clear of scraps

[Scat]

Thanks :D

I love Corys ( as you`ve noticed :D ) The sterbai`s ive bred many times in a 4ft tank but many of my corys arnt breeding atm in the 7ft.

Yes they keep the substrate clean but im not happy with that substrate atm , it is a 1mm natural brown and i feel its still too sharp for my cory`s barbels so in around a month im taking a week off work and changing the substrate out to tahitian moon sand , which is a nice fine jet black sand, this should look great in contrast with my large amazon swords :D

Will be moving on the venezuelanus,aenues "gold shoulder" and polystictus soon and putting in a group of 10 adolfoi and then i will be happy with my cory collection :D

love the dinner plate.... great tank and i like the corys too

sterbai's are my fav too!

[Scat]

Thanks , i think the dinner plate along with a few forks always give people pause when they see that in my tank until i explain the zuccini and live blackworms that love to burrow in substrate !! :D

Cheers :D

Do you have other fish in there, or is this a pure corie tank?

[Scat]

I have 13 peppermint bristlenose, 1 pair of longfin albino bristlenose, 3 Royal whiptails and 4 Red whiptails, 2 Hypancistrus inspectors, threadfin rainbows also, oh and 4 young discus now too :D

Cheers

oh, I remember now reading another thread where you mention this.

Very nice little fish. Are the "gold shoulder" the same as "neon gold stripes"?

I have 10 C. weitzmani, 13 C. trillineatus and 4 C. melanistius. Wanting to get some neons stripes, C. arcuatus, C. adolfoi and C. robinae.

[Matt15]

They're very much an underated fish. You really need 5+ to see there real character which they've got loads of.

Awesome collection....;)

[Scat]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments :D

Ive never heard of neon gold stripes but at a guess i would think they are the same cory. They are cheap over here going for $5 each and breed as much as your common bronze cory !

Gotta love 'em.

:P

Hi Craig,

Awesome pics mate. I love Cories as well...in one tank I have about 8 Sterbais and 8 Pandas. In another tank I have 5 Melini's which are really cute and very active also. I am wanting to build up my collection but running out of room. Looks like I need a new tank or two. :)

What do you feed your cories other than the live black worm?

Cheers,
Mark.
