Are These Cories Dyed?

[Martin Thoene]

If you colour balance the picture and desaturate it a bit you come up with something resembling the normal orange/gold flash species.

I'm suspicious, however there's a website that shows a bright green Gastromyzon species (Hillstream Loach) and these are indeed supposed to be naturally occuring and have been reported in the past in Practical Fishkeeping magazine.

I have the orange laser corys. yes those are green laser corys and yes they are all natural...i mean i'm sure it took quite a bit of imbreeding but no dyes involved or anything...pretty cool right?

Yup, I love orange and green lasers...but like I said, I just hadn't seen any that looked that green in a photograph before. Mayhaps I need to save up the cash and see how they look in person for myself.

They are Green Laser Cories (CW009)....also come in Orange and they aren't dyed.
