I got a black cory last night!!!

HI guys. I found myself a nice little black aeneus last night. That brings my aeneus collection to peppered, albino and ... black! Kewl. Tried to take pix but I think I'll need to wait as all the pix are quite blurry (that little guy just won't sit still). It looks really cool when he's swimming with the albino one! ;D

 

Can't wait for the pix!

 

That is so cool! They are really hard to find.

you certainly do seem to find a great selection of fish there. ;D

Are they hard to find, really? I'd read about them on a UK website, but the fish store guy didn't seem to make a fuss of them. He's more of a sea water guy, though. I really like that shop.

 

Yes they are very hard to find! Good job (now go get some more )

It's on the list, Dave. Right away, Dave.

 

yea, that's more like it! really, we should have some sort of trade agreement between our countries.. us fish meds for black corys.

It's on the list, Dave. Right away, Dave.

 

And zebra otos.

 

true..

And zebra otos.

 

Everyone look out! Runaway thread!

 

lol I found black corries at one of my lfs also. They were selling them for 10 bucks while albino corys were 99 cents lol

 

Cool, I love these guys. But my lfs has them at 15$ a peice!

Now all you need is a Corydoras barbatus, just cause they are freaking awesome! LOL!

 

i've not found them, even here in Denver.. but next week is the big fish auction for the colorado aquarium society so who knows.. maybe we can bring home a few.

Wow, checked the C. barbatus. 12cm!!! That's huuuge.

Yeah they are, but at 90 bucks a peice I don't think I will try them until I set up my 9000 gallon amazon dream tank.

The only one I have heard of that gets larger is a black 12 inched one, very territorial too.

 

Cool. If you haven't named them yet, name one Ying and the other Yang(which ever color goes with the proper name).

12 cm?

Wow, checked the C. barbatus. 12cm!!! That's huuuge.

 

Yeah, whatever that is in inches. cm = centimeters. Basically 2/3 of my handspan thumb to pinkie. Not that you know how big my hand is, LOL.

 

lol only for the cory would 12cm be considered huge.

 

carol

 

Or you could just remember that 1" = 2.54cm(but 2.5cm is a lot easier).
Tom

 

lol.. so relatively huge, then?

 

hI hI hi. Yeah, it's all relative!
