New Peppered Cory!

[Jamesham]

I got my new peppered cory today, he'll join my two other cories. He is a big boy, about 1 1/2 inches. Going to Grosvenor Tropicals tomorrow to get a Panda or something or another Peppered! Here is some pictures, tell me what you think!

Cute, I have three and I love them. Are you going to get him a friend as they like to live in groups?

Corys really prefer a sand substrate due to the fact they are bottom dwellers......do you think you will consider changing from gravel?

Thanks

Love the peppered corys! Have 2 Bronze and one albino that i think might be a pepper as its a loner and never swims with the bronze! When my new tank arrives i will get a group of peppers and see how the albino gets on with them.

Tried to tease them out with food, the 2 bronce were easy to get the but the abino was in hidding!
Exscuse my tank, its a mess at the moment, it has some temp plants ready for my new setup next week!

If you are going to get some more corys go for what you already have as they seem to get on better in a group of their own type!

This is the smaller of the 2

And the daddy!

The rubbernose popped out to see what was going on!

If you do plan on getting a panda cory don't just get one, get 5 or 6, they need to be kept in groups
