Favorite type of Cory?

[friendlyfish42]

What's everyone's favorite type of Cory? I'm looking to add 6 of these guys to my 29 gallon tank, but I can't decide which species I want.

Juliis are awesome and stay fairly small, extremely active and hilarious in groups of 6+

I love my peppered! They're constantly playing "tag" with each other! My sister and I are constantly watching them play around. Plus they keep my tank impecably clean

I always liked peppered ones. Yesterday I picked up 6 leopard cories. They're pretty cool. They look like julies but have a stripe running down their sides.

 

[Cleggat]

Geez, this is hard.. I like all of my 6 types.. But I really do love albinos and my sterbais.

 

[bruinsbro1997]

This is like an impossible question. I love all types!

panda cories are especially cute (but expensive!)

corydoras schultzei black strain. I have a breeding group, although they haven't done much breeding this year.

Wow was that your old profile pic? I never thought it was a cory. Never seen that type before though. Is it rare?

Look up black corys n sterbai, I have a couple of sterbai's, they look nice when they r in a big group.

 

[jetajockey]

yes and yes, I only know of one other person who sells them so they are pretty uncommon. And in case anyone asks, I'm not selling any until mine start breeding again.

Aquabid is the only place I've seen them for sale in recent years, they are not extremely rare but certainly not common.

Thanks for the link HUKIT. I would get some if i didn't get some leopards the other day.

Yeah I sold close to 50 of them on AB last year. At the time I think redkahuna was selling them as well, but it looks like falcone has them too(along with pretty much every other cory)

The strain has been around for years, not sure why it hasn't become more common, according to that auction they are still fetching a good price, for a corydoras anyway.

 

[Oscarr19]

Yea 11$ a pop is a little expensive but if i had the space i would definitely get some.

 

[absolutangel04]

That black strain looks great! Personally, I am partial to juhlii and elegans. They are very pretty with all the spots and they tend to have rounder noses than some other corys.

 

[HAVAMAL]

I'm partial to the albino's.
