One big, unidentified cory

Try planetcatfish.com, they've got just about all the corys on there. Only thing is most of them don't have names yet. Also picked an orange laser cory at the LFS yesterday, I'll try to get picture posted.

I looked at PlanetCatfish but couldn't tell from the pics. Orange laser sounds way cool. Can't wait to see.

angel, here's a link with lots of great cory pics and IDs. Don't know if yours is on there or not. Just click on any link and scroll up or down to see all the pics.

Looks like Corydoras Julii.

That's the one I thought most resembled it! But some of them the differences are so subtle. I feel more confident calling it that one since you saw that too.

If that one is from me they are Julii

That settles it then! It's the only one I have left. The other two went inside the crappy powerhead when they were smaller. I think this one is a girl, based on its fins being short and it having a rounder belly. Not that it matters when it's an only fish, but it's nice to know.

I wish my cories wouldn't run and hide when I approach the tank. I haven't been able to sex them since I bought them!

This one's pretty bold . Doesn't mind at all if I'm in front of the tank while she's out. Maybe because she's the only one.

Isn't that kinda rare for Corydoras? Aren't they usually more comfortable in a school? My 3 tend to stick together. Much better than the danios.

I can sit back in the recliner and watch the 3 cories search the gravel and glass for food. They'll even team up when one makes its mad dash to the surface for a gulp of air. Then the next one will take its turn. That's probably one of the most entertaining things about these little guys. Especially when you're not expecting it and you hear the sound of a large water drop! It sounds like they're jumping out of the water. ;D

Well there were 3. But two of them went inside the powerhead when they were smaller. Though thinking about it they never did stick together. I'd find one here one there. It is uncharacteristic. Weird. But fortunately this one is happy to be the only one.

That's good to hear. They're just too cute to be unhappy.

Speaking of cute, I was looking at the upside down catfish again today. Those are a riot! One of these days I'll get brave enough to get some.

I've never seen one swimming. Does it do that inverted, too?
