New fish!

[dkpate]

I saw an ad on CL for a 26G tank and a dwarf cory. Well, I e-mailed the lady and I am picking up the little guy tomorrow (not the tank)! YAYY! I am so excited, and I think he will do well in my community tank, and he is disease free. Just thought I would share!

Congrats! I am glad to hear you got the little guy I'm sure he will be happy with you.

Oh I tried to add to your rep but it won't let me lol.

 

[dkpate]

LOL, that's okay. She said she's not a fish person, but she wants to make sure I take his little house because he is quite fond of it. I am really excited, and driving an extra 60 miles (round-trip) to get this little guy LOL. Am I crazy? Naaaahhhhh!

 

[mellawson]

That's great! It's always fun to get fish when your not expecting to.

I picked up my little dude today, but it turns out, he's not a cory! I forgot what he was, but I will post his pic later, and try to look it up. It's name was Clyde, but it's a chick, so now it's Bonnie LOL.

 

[mellawson]

Cool! can't wait to see pic's of Bonnie!

 

[dkpate]

Here she is! She's pretty cute!
I think she's a brochis splendens but I am not 100% sure. Oh, and she's about 8 years old.

 

[logansmomma1228]

Wow, she does look like a cory though.

And wow, 8 years old? ??? I didn't think they lived that long! That lady must have been taking good care of her at least

 

[mellawson]

Nice to meet you Bonnie! Your one lucky fish to end up in dk's tank she'll take the best care of you.

Congratulations dk!

 

[dkpate]

She is a cory LOL. Just not a dwarf.

 

[logansmomma1228]

I was wondering what other fish would look exactly like a cory.. lol.

 

[dkpate]

Hahaha! Yep!

She is a cory LOL. Just not a dwarf.

Nevermind, just found this:

Species of the genus Brochis strongly resemble the Corydorus, but they are larger and have more rays in the dorsal fin. The Emerald Green Cory or Iridescent Plated Catfish will generally grow to about 3 inches.

 

[logansmomma1228]

Huh. Pretty intersting. You learn something new everyday!

 

[dkpate]

Are you confused as to the he/she? Well, the person on CL said it was a boy, but I stopped by an LFS, and was told it's a female.

no, more confused on the "its not a cory" then "lol, it is a cory"...

 

[mellawson]

Well we know it's a fish. Of that I am sure.

 

[dkpate]

Well, I posted what she is.

I was gonna say if that's not a cory then bonnie has 3 identical twins in my tank under the name emerald or peppered cory. Haha nice score though
