Worth it

so finally got a good look at pelvic fins to confirm, I do indeed have a pair the pale one (Behemoth, Beemy for short) is female and the dark one (Goliath) is the male.

Dropping some more photos as they've settled and colored up. The male has bolder markings, but the female has so much gold shining through on her to make up for it haha

These cories make my 55 gallon look small.
So far a little timid, but not too bad. Seem to be getting used to the busy body other cories. Kinda chill in comparison.

Big and beautiful cory cats!

 

[AdoraBelle Dearheart]

IT'S A PAIR!! I'M SO EXCITED!
Eeek I'm so happy for you! That means spawning in inevitably gonna happen, and you're gonna be rearing giant baby cory fry!

 

[CassCats]

Can you see them in the tank??

Theyre adorable, starting to snuffle around in the sand, the other cories seem to like them a lot though.

Even one of my young trilineatus juveniles came to hang out with their new rulers. Very brave little guy haha

The trilineatus in the background is an adult male, for size reference.

 

[AdoraBelle Dearheart]

I see em! Female on the far right, male a little further in at the front, directly below the clay pot. They really are huge! And gorgeous

That's so exciting! You're going to be able to raise huge baby cories!
