Brochis Britskii

Some good info.


These are some big cory's.
I bought one (before I knew they should be in groups, and of course the lfs doesnt tell you those kinds of things) about a year ago, to house with my clod frog to help clean up.
Everything else I tried, including a couple of small albino's just didnt work because as my clawed grew he tried eating them.
I obviously relocated those albino's and they are happily living in my 40g.
(yes, I know, I need to buy another one at least, just got off the phone, none here maybe tommorow they say).
Anyhow, I bought the Brochis Britskii to clean up the clawed frog tank but all he did was hide in the corner (again, little did I know they needed to be in groups)
So, I moved him into another community tank with several; other cory's of regular size.
He was quite happy in there, going about his buisness each day.

It wasnt until late last week that I found out I should have em groups of 3 or more.
(someone is gonna say 4 of more or 5 or more, I know it)

Anyways, just wanted to see if anyone else has one of these 'beauts?

Was going to get one but didn't have enough money to buy enough so it would be happy

How much were they in Minn?
Here, just north of ya, they were 9.99 Canadian.
'Bout 13-15 American depending on the 'ol loonie!

i bought 4 labeled as emerald cories. 4 for 5$! they died. like every other cory type species does in my tanks. I lost 1 in my 55 and 3 in my 10. they were pretty cool though but mine were very skittish. every time i went by the tank they would go hide under their plant.

I have 2 Brochis splendens (emerald cory).
The brochis are cousins of the corydora and they are
ok to be kept with all cories, my 2 forrage with my C.adolfois

I have seen B.britskis but they are £15 each

15 each in UK dollars?
What would that be in Canadian dollars?
A lot more than 9.99 Canadian right?
I want to get another two Brochis Britskii for the one lonely guy I have, but there so big and brutish, not towards other fish, but towards my plants...sheesh, he's always uprooying my anubius etc!
I find mine is very skittish as well, thought maybe cause he was alone, but maybe their all like that if yours were too.
Whenever I approach the tank and he "happens" to be out and about he'll jet for the first hiding place he can find.

Uk dollars?

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

£15 is about $27US so around $33.50 C

LOL
I dont know what you call your currency!
I have a hard enough time remembering mine...loonies, toonie's lol

My brother got married a few years ago and his wife's relatives came from england and brought some coins to trade for our coins.
I didnt get any myself, but I thought your coins were pretty cool, actually their pretty close to ours arent they?
