Well... I was at my local Walmart and happened to see a pygmy cory in the platy tank. They don't sell cory cats. So anyway I was asking them about it. They didn't order it, didn't even realize it was in there, must have slipped in with other fish. Anyway they gave it to me. If I come across more of the little guys some time, I'll pick up more because I know shoaling is important. He's probably 3/4". I can either put him in a 10g that has a cherry shrimp and some snails in it, that I sometimes put fry in or I can put him in a 75 gal planted tank with some violetta corys, green corys, cardinal tetras, and juvenile angelfish. He's big enough he wouldn't fit in anyone's mouth. Would he be better off with other cory cats that are bigger, or should I keep him isolated in the 10g? Thanks for any suggestions. I have no experience with the dwarf varieties.

Ok thanks for the quick reply. I have him floating in a bag at the moment. I'll release him in the 10g until I'm able to get more. May have to pm msj here in a week or two.
