I've found that my ADF's and Pygmies are very hard to take pictures of - the cories are spastically running about and the frogs are usually hiding. But, I did manage to get a couple shots of them tonight:) They're not that great but hey, its a new digital camera and its fun to play with;)

Here is Mr. Frog (the larger one)

Here is Mr. Little Frog (he's doubled in size since we got him...I love these guys:))

Here are three of the seven pgymy cories. I cannot believe they were sitting still!:eek:

pygmy cories are awesome but i need to set up a tank with smaller tankmates before i get some. maybe a 10 gallon with endlers and cories that would be cool.
 
What, those pictures not great? Who are you trying to fool? Awesome pictures Leopardess. The frogs are cool, but I love pygmies. I snagged the last three our LFS had, and they haven't been able to get anymore in since then, great and funny little buggers. I've noticed they like to "shoal" with the cardinals though, lol its kinda funny, if I can't find one or two just look around at the bunch of cardinals and there they are. Again though, great pictures!
 
My pygmys actually chase my zebra danios around and occasionally one or two join the danios at feeding time. I think they're a little confused as to what they really are. :D
 
Really cute! I love pygmies.

I have a question for you Leopardess... what type of substrate are you using for your tank, and how are the pygmies doing with that? I was planning on switching to Onyx sand for my own pygmies.

edit: I just peeked at your site (awesome, by the way) and noticed that you used the Schultz's. Are you pretty happy with that?

Yah, I use schultz's profile. It works great as far as I'm concerned. Plus, there is hardly any substrate showing because of the riccia/glosso in that tank, so most of the time they aren't touching it at all. Before the tank grew in though, they didn't have any problems with it. Just about every substrate is bound to be pretty big compared to these guys! lol

Here you can see a pygmy compared to the size of the profile....these guys are so tiny!:)

Beautiful pictures and very cute fish. When I was looking for corys for my 10 gallon, I couldn't find pygmies anywhere. They're adorable.

Is it the angle - the first frog pic his head looks so itty bitty compared to his body - or is he like that? Cool the way the web foot is showing. I must say, you have a knack for names: Mr. Frog and Mr. Little Frog. Made me laugh.
 
LOL their heads are pretty small...You can kind of see that on Mr. Little Frog too.

As for the names, mr. frog isnt' even a mister. Mr. frog is a she (so I came to discover).

I guess I couldn't come up with anything interesting to name them lol. I think I had originally chosen a different name for Mr. Frog, but it didn't stick.
