Hi steppy

The easiest way to tell the gender of a cory is to compare it with one of the other sex. While they are still young, it comes down to making a good guess. If you look at them from above you can see their silhouette no matter how they are moving around.

In mature corys, the female is always the larger of the two. She will be longer and fatter.

Also, if you compare their ventral fins, the female's is larger and is round, while the males have more pointed ones.

Don't go by the color alone when looking at the pictures of the bronze cory and the brochis. There is a lot of color variations among them, and even the light that they are in makes a difference in their appearance. If you compare their shapes, the brochis seems taller and more angular than the cory.

She also bought a blind (i.e. no-eye) albino recently, and it's doing fine. It's really cute, too...just swims around in circles, bumping into things (even the rams in her tank, which don't like it very much).

My albino does the EXACT same thing. Hmm. He'll just swim the perimeter of the tank, and whoever gets in his way better move cause he isn't stopping!!

I have an albino, a spotted, and a emerald cory, and they hang out together all the time..... 'cept when the albino decides to break off and swim laps. Then they all go do their own thing for a while.

i got 2 more cories and they're all swimming around like a happy bunch.

both spotted cories. i think i got a male and female, cuz the tails look really different. one has a short rounded tail, and the other has a long pointed tail...so i'm hoping i got that right. so now i either have 2 males and a female or vice versa.

if they do have babies, i suppose i could feed them to my sunfish....they love live food
