what cories should I get?

[Lauren]

I'm going to be getting a few little cories for my 20g. They will be living with white clouds, rasboras, gold barbs and gouramis.

thanks :)

Pretty much any cories will work, they are all peaceful - I suggest you get the one you like the most...

You should get at least 3, more the better, without overstocking your tank, of course...

Personally, I like C Panda and C Sterbai.

I like Corydoras julii myself, but the pygmies stay smaller, so you can have more of them. Be careful at the LFS, they tend to mislabel cories.

yea they are all cool. the pygmys are nice because they are so small the coolest ones thatarent super rare are the pandas, i love those guys but they seem to be more sensitive.

I have 4 bronze cories in my 55 g that are about 1.25 inches and I picked up a pair of little speckled cories for a smaller tank as temporaries until they got larger and have been added to the 55g since then but have never gotten any larger. they are less than 1" long. I had never heard of pygmies and I'm wondering if these are a pair now. It's been too long since I bought them at the LFS so I'm sure they don't remember. guess I'll just have to wait and see if they ever get any larger. I do like the smaller ones better because they seem to stick together more and don't bother anyone. The larger cories stick to themselves and seem to root their way through everything, sometimes disturbing baby fish hiding in the grasses. good luck, Kyle

nice, I love E30s, I'm planning on getting one for the long haul to college in the next year. I have an E46, a 2000. I'll have suspension on her within the next month (koni adjustables with H&R race), but thanks to the OBDII I won't be doing too many engine modifications, just too expensive with not much gain. My dad has an E39 540i that I get to play with as well, but it is unfortunately an automatic and stock :( 2002s are great cars, especially coming from an E30, I've seen those guys haul *** around the track at autocrosses, an S14 swap into one would be so awesome.

Are you on bimmerfourms?

[blitzen25bm]

im on bimmernut, the e34 board has a lot of tech. guys. thats the only reason i use it, most of the forums are now too ricey and are all about racing each other..... so i stay away.
