Bottom Dwellers

Hey just thought thought I'd show you the night crew in 2 of my tanks(I also have khulis and a smaller pleco in other tanks but thats for later ). so here they are!

I love these guys, they have the most beautiful tails I've ever seen on a cory. They look like bronze cories to me but they seem bigger and their snouts more pronounced than bronzes. If some one wants to help me decide on that....

With flash:

Blurry but it's the best pic of all of them, it's the pygmies

Borneos!! These are the best algae eating machines there are!

Look at those bellies

Now time for the biggie of them all, my 10 inch pleco

Hey!

and Nice fish!

The first one looks a lot like the fish i just bought. I was told it was an Emerald Catfish or Brochis Splenden. Ive attached a pic (the one on the right obv! lol) Is that what yours look like?

Ah, if you want to know, your "cories" from the first photo, are actually not cories. It's a fish called Brochis splendens. If you look at it's dorsal fin, its more extended than the fish of the Corydoras genus.

splendens, or "Emerald Cat," is the smallest of the Brochis genus, and will grow to about 3.5-4 in. I have one myself, and he just schools with my bronze cories. Brochis cats act basically the same as cories.

Thank you all for your great comments and giving me my catfishes species name(nice pics Jess). The tails are even more beautiful, but it's a bad pic. Their tail actually looks like a cresent moon.
Ron yes, they're also called butterfly loach and hillstream loach.

Thanks for looking
