Question for everyone about corydoras

[bettagirl]

what is your favorite corydoras species? Just wondering that is all

[Keri]

I can't resist the character of a school of old bronze corydoras, the young ones are cute but the mature ones have the look I like.

[Ursus sapien]

Never met a cory I didn't like:-) They all have somewhat different behaviours, but they're all delightful. My favorite, though, are C. paleatus, the peppered corydoras. They're active in all levels of the aquarium, hardy and fun to watch as they browse floating plants for nibblets.

I can't pick just one!:-) I do prefer the dwarf species.

Corydoras Hastatus is my fav~ Charles please get on it!!!

My favourites are c. julii (first one I ever got) and c. pygmaeus (dwarf). When julii corydoras get big, they just stare at you balefully from the gravel but pygmy corydoras like to hang around with their buddies at all levels of the tank. I also like panda corydoras for their playfulness.

Corydoras are sensitive to water quality (like nitrates) and to sharp gravel or rocks. They do best in well established tanks and with rounded gravel or sand, in my experience. Definitely not a lot of lava rock or anything, because of their barbels!

My favourites are two species of 'dwarf' cory - Corydoras hastatus and Corydoras pygmaeus. They will school at all levels of the tank and are quite active. They look spectacular in a planted tank.

The problem getting Hastatus, is that they are mis labeled by the South American exporters. The fish they label as Hastatus are actually pygmaeus. Sometimes hasbrosus.

My first corydoras were pandas and they still are my favourites. They are playful and a bit harder to keep. Love to build on my existing colony. Pygmaeus are my second on the list. I would love to source out some Adolfoi Corydoras in the future.

To help differential between the popular dwarf corydoras.
