My Cories!

[Fishandfrogs]

So i think i might have finally figured out what sort of cories i got. After some more research, im thinking that they are what petsmart is referring to as a "green cory" which are exactly the same size and coloration as mine. The "emerald" Cories they had there were about twice the size as mine. After the web research, i decided that they had to be Corydoras aeneus. Anyway, it excited me that i know what they are now. So my question is this: is is appropriate to refer to Corydoras aeneus as "green Cories" ?

oh and i finally got some good pix of the little guys. Enjoy

They're so cute. And they could be young still. My peppered cory has about doubled in size since I got him (apparently I feed him far too much!).

I've always called them bronze cories. But yes, it's C. aeneus that you have there

So what are you feeding them? i got shrimp pellets here and they seem interested, but they jsut sort of hover over them and quiver like they are excited... ive never seen them actually eat anything.

mine LOVE algae wafers. Thats their main food with a shrimp pellet once a week.
