Which cories are those?

[senemedar]

Bought those two little fellas yesterday and... forgot the name Can you ID them for me, please?

Also-- they seem to be a bit relentless, is that normal? I thought they be sitting on the bottom more, and they seem to be all over the place

They arent actually bottom dwellers

I have cories & their always on the go, great little guys. Not sure which kind you have, mine are albinos & julli,s.

From the Picture...I which I could enlarge it....I think you have Otocinclus Catfish

They move around a lot when introduced in a new tank

They are both bottom and middle dwellers. Corydoras pygmaeus are very active.

I've been told they are almost adult size and don't grow much larger than that
On a serious note though-- I'm surprised because they're quite big on my computer - just click on the image and it goes into gallery mode...

Looks like those to me, and the name sounds familiar as well Thank you!

Apparently I need to buy more next week, as I read they like company. Can I get like 6 in my 25 litres tank with Betta in it?

Unfortunately, I think that is too small for pygmy cories. They would do better in a 10g tank. The betta might also be mean. Some bettas will be nice to other fish. Some will not.

Second that don't look like Cory's to me

 

[jetajockey]

They are Pygmy cories, look at the mouth. Otos have a sucker mouth. Pygmies aren't like other cories, they are fidgety and hover a lot.

They ARE cories. They're corydoras pygmaeus...

Sorry your right

The Betta is actually the most laid-back fish I've ever seen
Maybe there's something in my apartment, but everything is calm here-- the Betta, the Red Tailed Shark (that co-exists with Red Cherries) and even a cat, that sleeps like 40 hours a day

That is the same variety of "pigmy cory" we have. Cute little buggers. That variety, I have both been told and observed, are actually more active mid-level swimmer. But like most cories, will settle down from time to time.

Definitely, 100% certain not Ottos
