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!

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

if you read on it says that im getting another peppered tomorrow

Nice corys, I cant wait to set up my 50gal with sand so I can get some!
Also, off topic but the plant in the pic above (its also in a few others) is non-aquatic and will just die and rot in an aquarium. Lots of LFS sell not aquatic plants .

i have 2 and here is info (click here)

That just gives info on Bronze/Albino Cory! Mine could be a Peppered/Albino Cory! You see i have 2 bronze that are always together and the albino is a loner, surly if it was a Bronze albino it would mix but it doesn`t!

I actually had a school of 3 bronze corys but 2 died and then bought 1 bronze and one albino to keep the little guy company, however only the 2 bronze swim around together so surly the albino is of a different strain?

no, its definately an albino bronze and they only mix with bronzes if they are in groups of 2 +

otherwise the bronzes wont school with him as he is different colour patterned. but in groups they all mix

Here is a pic of a peppered albino, very hard to tell tell the difference!

Dont just get him one friend, cories need to be in groups of 5+, 3 will do in a small tank but the bigger the group the better
