my LFS has had some decent sized $5ea cories for a couple weeks now. there was one albino and two bronze. the bronze have slightly chewed up top fins but are healthy other wise. they are a decent size (2-3") and were cheap so i decided to get them. i pu the two bronze with chewed fins into my baby tank with about 20 sword tail fry and some snails. no one else is in there with them and it's 30 gal. i will be treating them with melafix and hopefully they can have complete fish lives in there.

the albino is fine. i think he is a male. i have two albino females in my other tank. i would like to breed corys so hopefully i get some now.

any thoughts on this? anything you recommend to help with healing? both cories have about 40-50% of their top fins left. melafix is supposed to help regenerate fins.

also, does someone have a diagram of a fish that shows what the different fins are named? thanks.

yeah i am usually warey of buying less than perfect fish but i noticed that these guys were at the LFS for a couple weeks now. if they made it that long, they could prolly go longer and help keep the bottom of my 30gal clean.

thanks for the link!
