I got my first corys!

[Jspigs]

Yesterday I went to my LFS and bought 6 pygmy corys:). They are currently in my quarantine tank but so far look very healthy:D. I plan to keep them in the quarantine tank for at least 2 weeks (more if they end up being sick).

I am very excited about them and I find their barbels (spelling?) very cute.

They will be going in one of my ten gallons.

Pics will come soon (hopefully lol).

Very Cool, Congratulations!!! One of my favorite fish to observe they are so active.

Congrats! I love corys too.

Sorry for the bad quality pics, whenever they see me they stop swimming around the tank and swim under the heater which makes it very hard to get a good pic of them. This time one also decided to swim next to the filter.

Here are the pics of them in the quarantine tank:

I go to tropic isle aquarium. It is in Framingham just off route 9.

Here is a link to their website: http://tropicisleaquarium.com/index.html

I have also found the staff there to be knowledgeable. But I still do my research here first, just in case.

Thanks everyone for the comments:).

I thought it might be. TI is closer to me but I :hearts: Uncle Ned's, Ned & Sam:dance2:. I'm in Westborough BTW

[Jspigs]

I have been to Uncle Ned's and I like it but I like Tropic Isle better. TI seems to have more equipment and a more consistent fish selection but then again I have only been to Ned's a couple times so I could be completely wrong.

Update: They are still doing very well but I will still keep them in the quarantine tank for the full 2 weeks.

[Big Mike]

Very nice!! I love my Corys.(Paleatus) Corys are the most peaceful fish I have ever seen.

[Chrisk-K]

As for fish, I keep only cories and will keep only cories.

[fishycat]

If I had the space, I'd set up a heavily planted dwarf cory species tank - pygmaeus, hastatus & habrosus. :hearts:

Hope your pygmies are still doing good!

Yay!! Good for you!!! I have 4 albinos myself and they are hilarious. See if you can train them to eat out of your hands, mine do and they LOVE it, and I have to admit, so do I!!! They are awesome little fishies!!! Congrats!!!

Update. The corys are still doing good. No signs of disease:D. But I will continue to quarantine them for another week.
