Corydoras pygmeaus vs Corydorus habrosus

[Tandor]

Hello,
I read about dwarf corys Corydorus habrosus on the internet, but couldn't find any at the lfs. Did find Pygmy corys Corydoras pygmeaus, and ended up getting six. Very hard to find much info about either species. Does anyone have any info about either species, or links on the net.

Thanks,
Tandor

Hi Tandor

Here are some links about C. pygmeaus:

Hope these links help you learn about these fine little fish.

I think that I have the same ones that you do. Have had them three months now - I really enjoy them and they have recently started to school. At first they were just random - probably too immature, but now it's like a small heard of wildabeast in the tank.

Inchworm, thanks for the links, that was what I was looking for.

Alaska, cool. That's the behavior I was looking for. I really like corys, but the regular ones get a little bigger than I wanted. Pygmys are just too kewl!!

Now I need to find Dwarf gouramis to go with my Dwarf puffers and pygmy corys.

Maybe I should start a thread about mini/dwarf/pygmy fish.

Hi Tandor

What a great idea that is! I hope you do it. It would really be interesting to see what everyone can think of.

I love the little fish, and think a tank full of the miniature ones would be terrific.

Oh no!! Another idea for a tank. It does sound cool tho. I have started the thread in chit chat, so start reving up those ideas.
