My Completed Group Of Cories

[t1tanrush]

He just asked for advice. I get so sick of people who give advice and then if their advice isn't taken then OH NO your a horrible fish keeper.

Because its obivous, hes only accepting that they can all go together "happily" because it means he wont have to go to the fish shop and buy more. Ease of the fishkeeper. Its the way it goes sometimes, some people are like that.

Um... LOL?
The corys are the same species, and its commonly known that they will shoal together happily. Your basically saying that in order for them to get along and be happy they all have to be the same kind. Guess a white person can't have black friends huh then? Fish keeping is not set in stone, and you seem to think that there is only one proper way to keep corys.

i dont need to be a psychologist, i only have to have eyes to tell that they are shoaling together and are perfectly happy.

Ha

thank you, you seem to be the only one that is set on helping me!

it seems you are only accepting what you want to hear.....classic

as for your link, it proves nothing at all. And your "Ha" comment is what has gone beyond the line i am afraid, i have not been confrontational to you whatsoever before that remark, and people have given you advice and you throw it back in their face. Be grateful for what advice you do receive.

"Cories get along with anyone and anything that wants to get along with them. I believe they do best in same-species schools but cories of any kind are better than no cories at all. A single cory is a sad little fish!"

even that piece of pretty misleading advice doesnt support your view and its not even correct advice! wow.

you only need eyes? funny we have years of research to support us.

and yet your so smart that you cant even avoid a double post

It's your choice, but I dont see why you asked for advice if you had no intention of taking it?

He just asked for advice. I get so sick of people who give advice and then if their advice isn't taken then OH NO your a horrible fish keeper. Your advice doesn't hold any more weight than anyone elses. Corys of different types will shoal together, and if they are shoaling together, whats the big deal?

thank you, you seem to be the only one on the same brain wave

Sadly a lot of people here want to provide extravigant tanks for their fish, tons of accessories, lots of time, and go way over the top than the average fish keeper like ourselves. Believe me, you'll get flamed a lot, I do.

Edit: Poster above me:
Yea, spamming is the way to go. Lets make yourself look even more immature. Great job!

um lol you get my point
they have to be in groups of 3+ each type.

yeah, not being aware that forums go funny like that from time to time is the way to go, yeay!!!!1!!111!

edit: i am leaving this thread now, im not gonna go quite as low as some people and i dont want the thread to be closed, ciao!

No, you can put corys of the same species in a tank and they will shoal even if they are different types. I've had several people tell me it has NO ill effects on the corys. So no, it is not set in stone.

You made it out to be a double post on purpose to get your point across, if thats what your reply means. You might want to try slowing down and typing what your saying out and thinking about it first rather than believing we can read your 1st grade level writing.

your edit: Thanks.

At least he didn't just join in a thread to pretend to be interested purely to disagree with someone else (ie me and you hey - what a co-inkydink) who joined in the thread?

Confusing? A little. But I'd rather he got good advice than bad advice just to keep him happy. You chose the latter. Well done you - maybe you could have some mixed up cories in a 20g with two parrot fish, or in a 55g with two green terrors and a plec...

Come in and call people grown ups when you actually know and care about fishes needs, rather than cramming something pretty in a tank. Troll.

LOL? I stated my opinion and backed up the topic starter who was getting flamed for not taking someones advice. Its advice, not law. You seem to think fish keeping is set in stone, much like others. Saying this tank can hold this, this, this, and some ofthese, but only if you do this this and this. Seriously, its all experimental, sometimes things you wouldn't expect to work, work great! And please, I never said corys in a 20g with parrots, thats overstocking, or in 55, they would get eaten with GT. Nor did I say a plec and 2 GT in a 55.
Just because I see some of the people here as acting childish doesn't mean I don't care or know about fishes. And for the way I see it (and others) the fish a lot of you want to provide extremely over the top tanks can do fine in a smaller tank.
I believe you are the troll here, following me around trying to make me out to be an idiot. Go outside and take a breather.

 

[LisaLQ]

Oh titan, you're nearly good at what you do. Nearly. I will take that breather thank you, but only because I'm laughing so much at you thinking you know what would fit in where.

I have two parrot fish, they would not, and never would, ever fit in a 20g tank. As in they physically couldn't fit in it, and turn around. Learn a bit more about fish before you hand out advice darling.

Nope a 6" (from what I've read they are 6") can't turn around in 18 inches of space. Can't happen, no possibility, they need at least 24 inches of space to make a complete turn! Silence.

Just so you are aware - corydoras belong to the same genus - not the same species.

Black and white people (all people for that matter) belong to the exact same genus (Homo) but also to the same species (sapiens).

Simialrly, albino and bronze cories belong to the same genus (Corydoras) and the same species (aenus)
HOWEVER, blackfin cories belong to thesame genus (Corydoras) bt a different species (leucomelas). Sterbai, similarly, is Corydoras sterbai - same genus, different species.

Also the same applies to guppies and sailfin mollies - same genus (Poecilia), different species (reticulata and, usually, velifera respectively).
Same with pearl, snakeskin, three-spot or moonlight gouramies - all the same genus, different species.
Same with donkeys and horses or dogs, coyotes, wolves and dingos. You get the idea

I'm not saying this to take sides - in fact, I know that cories do shoal with different species if they have none of their own kind around (though, if you keep them in groups of their own kind, they quite impressively manage to stick only with others like themselves and ignore different fish).

Having said that, the fact that a bunch of fish will shoal together doesn't mean this is the condition in which they thrive. If you keep a neon alone with a bunch of guppies, it'll start hanging out with the guppies because it has an instinct to school (there is safety in numbers). This doesn't mean it's happy or that it is right to keep it this way.
