    Here are some new pics of some of the fish I have. The last two pics are of my new Bearded Cory (Corydoras Barbatus), the largest fish in the cory family (they can get up to 5"). He's an odd looking fish. He looks as if he has the head of a cory with the body of some other fish.

    yeah- i've seen those corys before. they are supposed to be very hardy. I've had some blue paradise fish once before... 2 actually. it was a buy 1 get 1 free type deal. they fought and 1 ate the others eye, so i named the 1 eyed one Popeye. man.. that fish lived forever!!! like 5 years or something... cute fishies :)

    so far he's doing really good. He'll eat flake food, but he seems to love frozen (thawed) blood worms. He's kind of an all over the tank fish. He'll hang with the cory cats and peck at their food occasionaly, then other times he'll swim by himself or around with the rainbows or guppies. He's quite the interesting character.

    That is what I have heard about the GBRs! Glad that he is still doing well for you! I may get a few GBRs to throw into my 125 with the Discus! Of course I still am waiting til I get my 20 Cardinal Tetras before that will ever happen.

    yea, the eupterus is quite the hog. He usually hangs upside down in his cave when the lights are on (still trying to figure out if he's a fish or a bat lol), but as soon as I drop food in the tank for the corys, it doesn't matter if the lights are on or off, he'll swim right over to the food and start eating it.

    Got a couple of new pics of the two new corys we got. The first is the Sterbai, the other is a bad pic of the oiapoquensis.

    yea, both were pretty expensive. The funny part is, all the corys school together. like right now the Sterbai is hanging out with the adolfos, the panda, and the two sand's

    I like the Sterbai, he would look sooo good in my tank with my cories.

    I like that 1st pic! Looks like a little striped bass! :)

    I have Blues and Albinos and yes they do shoal together. They also the few times they spawned tried to do mix spawns with a female albino and a male blue! Of course the tetras ate the eggs as soon as the male left to fertilize the next batch.
