...and here are 3 of the cory cats. 2 peppered and a leopard (the bigger one). They are eating an alae wafer that I put in for the pleco. The barbs and cories are having a field day, don't know if there will be anything left for the pleco!

Thanks! 4 of the 5 are from an excellent lfs and are very orangey-red. The 5th I got at PetSmart tonight b/c my lfs was all out and I needed something else anyway. It's still red vs the gold of a female, but is more pinkey red. Still very pretty though.

The 3 new cories have already teamed up with the bigger cories and are following them all over; it's pretty cute.

It would be really cool if it had a working light in the top!

Our lfs has several - different colors, shapes and sizes. Had to snag it!

You have beautifully coloured male barbs! Do you have any females?

 

[parker313]

No, I just have the 5 males. They are getting on famously. I was worried about aggression, but so far, so good. I'm leaving extra space in my tank in case things start to go south so I can add in some females if need be.

I also got some pics of my albino and other cory and pleco and will put them up in a bit.
