im thinking of getting corys but i dont know a lot about them and what do they cost?
They are amazingly fun little fish to watch.
Ohhh, there must be some hard-core Cory experts here, I'm sure. When I was reading up on them a while back, there was an article that said their breeding was largely a mystery. It must be done, though, cause we buy the little buggers! Anyone have any articles or videos?
Here in the uk, you can pay anything from a couple.of.pounds to over twenty, depending on species and size. When I first starting reading a lot about corys, there were around 120 named species. Now there are over 160 and new ones are being found all the time.
Amazing little fish. They will eat any food missed by other fish (even if you are not heavy handed, some food will often reach the bottom of the tank) but you must ensure they get enough to eat. If a cory comes to the surface to feed, it is normally a very hungry one!
Fascinating to breed too, eh J.McPeak!
Breeding them is tricky, i have tried but no luck yet!,
They love the rainfall.. So at night after turning there lights out you use a watering can with cold water and pour it slowly into the tank, in the morning you should see eggs on the glass of your tank.
Yes sir they are. It's simple enough. (I can't breed tetras though!) people say they are easy! That's my next goal!
