Peppered Cory

[Siamese Fighting]

I bought these two together, going on the basis the male tends to be larger than the female.

Would anyone be able to tell me if I successfully picked a male and female?

hi Siamese Fighting
its actualy the females that is bigger than the males in corydoras you can always tell the females compaired to the males from a top view they are plumper and more stocky than the males

Haha sounds too much like real life.

Well my logic may have been wrong, but hopefully successful in the sense ones bigger than the other? lol

Do you only have the two?. They'll do much better in a group.

I think he's looking to make a group, vinylman!

But vinylman is correct. The more the merrier.

A mature female pepper will male 2 or 3 of a male, Siamese Fighting. A proper pepper lady can barely wiggle her tail. She has to move around like someone trying to get a car into a tight parking space. LOL

Or like a very corseted Victorian lady.

I have 6 Cory in total and they all shoal together. However, I only have 2 peppered cory.

That's good they get along. Corys will befriend anyone that loves a party! LOL I had a Pulcher that got transferred via the Python hose to the community tank. Little fella tried to dance with the Botia dario/Queens. He gave up after awhile. He has a large pepper tribe--well 7 or 8--and a Wietzmanni similar escapee from the Wietzmanni/ Super Schwartzi/panda tank that he makes do with..
