My New Fish!!

[Jess]

Hey,

So, ive got some new fish. They all look a bit odd to me but they're so cute!! So, for anyone who cares, here's some pictures...

Ill apologise now for the quality...lol Its bad...

ok... here we go..

Picture One - Emerald Catfish

 

[Jess]

And another one of him cos he's so cute!

 

[Jess]

Peppered Cory. REALLY bad picture, sorry!! This was the best one i could get of him - he never stops darting around the tank!lol

 

[spottypufferfish]

And another one of him cos he's so cute!

i think its quite possible its a corey dora. bottom feeding fish a member of the cat fish family I THINK cant vouch on that

 

[Jess]

This has to be the weirdest looking one! I have never seen one of these before!!lol He's so cute! Upside-Down Catfish

 

[Jess]

Last one - Upside down catfish swimming... upside down! lol

 

[Jess]

And another one of him cos he's so cute!

i think its quite possible its a corey dora. bottom feeding fish a member of the cat fish family I THINK cant vouch on that

To be honest, they could be anything to me!! The guy was just listing names!!! As long as they tell me pretty much what they are and exactly how to look after them and whether they're ok for my tank im happy! He said the peppered cory and emerald thing are just like my other cories to look after and the upside down "thing" should be just like my bristlenose! pretty much...lol

The emerald catfish looks like a Giant Corydoras catfish. They aren't really corydoras, I think they call them Brochis Im not sure tho.

 

[Dwarfs]

They're Brochis

 

[Jess]

Just looked on some websites. The emerald catfish's 'scientific name' is Brochis Splenden! So he should be what i thought he was. It is related to cories

Whatever he is, he's adorable!

Oooh, managed to talk the guy at my lfs to sell me all three for £12 (they were supposed to be about £20) Is that a good price for those fish? Or was i ripped off?!lol

You have the same cories as me. I have 5 peppers and 3 of those emerald cories.
Nice collection of catfish though.

 

[Jess]

Thank You! They are really cute! They seem to have settled in really well already!!

When i get my bigger tank ill probably get some more, id never really thought of getting them but i love them now!! They're such little characters!!

Jess

Finally managed to get a fairly clear picture! Emerald Catfish with little peppered cory behind him... SO cute! lol

 

[HotStuffGal]

Cute COries and Your upside down cat's a hoot! Mine and yours are identical...maybe long lost brothers/sister? lol Anyway really nice pics Jess

 

[Jess]

Hey,

Thanks! My upside down cat is cute, but he doesn't really do much!! Just kinda swims around every now and then and pesters my bristlenose pleco!! The emerald and the cory are SO active though, they're adorable!!!

I cant help thinking that my upside down catfish looks kinda like th thing at the end of 'The Fly'...lol Its not the most attractive fish!! Cool though!
