My 54 gallon natural South American tank (updated)!

[Cory Lover]

Hey everyone,

Here are some updated pics of my 54 gallon tank. I try hard to keep it as natural as possible and to give it a South American flare. Tell me how I'm doing. I also included a pic of one of my new Cories, a C. davidsandsi.

Yep, its all real. I like driftwood since it looks really cool and has many hiding places for my 20 Cories.

Hi,

The one in the pic is a C. davidsandsi. If you look close you'll notice the orange on the head and (not in the pic) the black line that goes all the way to the bottom of their caudal fin. The people at Planet Catfish confirmed that is was a davudsandsi.

Black Band Cories are C. zygatus. Their body has a orange hue to it with a black band running form their head to the begginning of their tail.

Acre Cories are C. acrensis. They look very similar to C. trilineatus but are a little less striped.

And then the Sand's Cory is C. davidsandsi, the one in the pic.
