Crazy Corys Anonymous

[FishingMouse]

I love my cories so much that I just got a new 20L which I will be setting up primarily as a cory sandbox, planted of course.

I will be moving my cory pack out of the 36 so the Bristlenose Pleco's can have the floor all to themselves.

I want to do that too! But I don't have the space for it in my room and my dad won't let me put a tank anywhere else >.>

Awesome!! I really want a blue crayfish (in it's own tank so it won't eat any of my other "babies") but they can survive out of the water and escape the tank. My two dogs would love the challenging snack!!

In my 25G tank, my cory cats (5) were the first additions. They had the whole tank to themselves for a few weeks.. I was finally able to go the lfs, and I bought 1 platy, and 5 gold barbs. The corys who were usually playing all the time now only come out for feeding time. Yesterday I bought 2 GBR and a few assorted tetras and another platy. Dang corys are still pouting they have to share the tank... LOL Spoiled Brats

Yea my killers would too..lol i have 2 chihuahuas.. that arent ankle bitters..lol but i found a baby dead lizard yesterday n at first glance thought it was one of my new otos.. im gonna have to be extra careful n take some different measures to insure that thing stays in the tank.. yea definately not puttin it with my fish. Thats why we r moving everything to our 55g bc the hubby wants it bad enough to break his 2tank rule...lol

Great picture, that's crazy alright! Really funny!



What's gonna happen now with the eggs? Will they just stay stuck on there the whole time? Now you will have to tell us what happens!

Well I hope they will be lots of babies. Did you find any other eggs in the tank?

Have you fed her anything. I have never had Cory eggs, but my guppies always like a bit to eat while they are giving birth...

I have two Jack Russell Terriers and they have killed lizards, toads, mice, big nasty rats, birds, baby bunny ( I was super upset about that!) and moles. They literally dig the mole out of it's hole! So I'm thinking a crayfish would be no problem for them. Hard to think something so cute could be such killers!

Hitchhiker!

Last night I just got to the point of adding filters and water to my 20L cory sandbox tank before falling into bed exhausted.





I moved an established Marineland Penguin from my 36 tank where the parents currently reside, dumping the water from the filter into the bucket of dirty tank water where I was squeezing filter floss from established tanks. The tank was still cloudy when I went to bed, which is next to the tank.





When the timed lights came on to the now clearer tank, what did I see?




All I can figure is it had been "living" in the filter. Poor thing was VERY skinny. I scooped him up and he is now in the 12 gallon nursery tank.

 

[Oceangirl]

What kind of sand did you use? I am very interested please!

Just added 4 young albino Cory's to my 55 with 4 already in it. Now I have a total of 8. One poor guy took leap into the sink while I was acclimating. I have the worst with dropping cories in the sink... It's nice seeing so much movement. I'm going to add another 4 cories next time I go to the Lfs. They had some really neat polka dot cories, but they were a little pricier and I was being frugal. But at this rate cories and German blue rams are the only tankmates my angels don't pick off one by one.
