Comps, Calvus, And A Little Cory

[Styx]

This little cory is maybe ½ and inch long. Picked it up recently, I intend to go get some more soon. It’s living with my comp and calvus juvies of the same and smaller size. A breeder working at an LFS said it was a bad idea; they’d just fowl up the water, dirty little fish, ect, ect (even though I’m committed to weekly WCs). Well, I showed him. Since the cory darts all over near the middle of the tank, the comp and calvus juvies feel more comfortable and swim around more. And as an added bonus, the cory cleans up uneaten food (and I think many of you know what troubles I’ve been having with them eating).

Don’t worry; when they get big enough to pose any kind of threat, I’ll be moving the tiny cories to another tank. Which won’t be for a long, long time. I'll probably move them to another tank sooner anyway and pick up some ghost shrimps.

And here’s a goldhead comp juvie. Yeah, figured out that’s why I couldn’t find any goldhead calvus online. Because they’re comps. Not calvus. >_> Ah HA!

LOL Yeah, since I hate dither fish, I think the cory is helping them to feel less shy like a dither fish would. But with a benifit of bottom feeding. ^^
