Hi All!
I was thinking of getting some corys for Alphies tank, Is there different types of corys or certain ones i should get?
How many would be suitable for a 21l tank if any?
Thankyou All.

Oh brilliant!
Will probably get some in the week. Don't think my lfs sells pymgy cories though.

they might be able to order them in for you but they are quite expensive [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Expensive? How much each?
I'll have a look in my lfs to see if they do have any.

by **kizno1** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:21 am

think there about £3 when my lfs get them

by **jasminek** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:22 am

Woah! I have £6. Would i have to buy them in groups at first?
Would be alright if i coud just get 2 every week til i have 6.

with pygmy you really need to get them all at once they dont like there being less that 6 and would get stressed out an just hide

Hey hon, pygmies are the best to go for and it is best in groups of 6, i wouldsave up hon and get them all at once. But also be aware Alphie may not want them in his tank so have a back up and also you need to have good food for the cories x

by **jasminek** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 1:45 pm

If alphie didnt like them then id have no-where to put them, apart from try the girls tank! What sort of food? Is it expensive?

by **kizno1** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 1:47 pm

algea wafers there about £3 for a massive pack and they will just eat flake that drops the the bottom

by **lilacamy931** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 1:49 pm

Crushed flake, small sinking wafers, bloodworm, frozen foods, should be good quality from what I have been reading, just ensure it is small enough for them to eat (I think you are going to be really surprised how tiny these are, Im having a small set up to try and breed some and try on some of the boys, I was really shocked when saw them).

by **kizno1** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 1:51 pm

they are tiny aint they they only get a inch my lfs get them in at 1-2cm

by **jasminek** on Sun Nov 08, 2009 1:54 pm

That small? Wow! Smile

Thanks for the help Keiran & Amy! Smile
