I have a breeding group of c. pygmaeus and two young ones. There are also 5 otos in the tank. I find the otos are busy interacting and swimming together all day now that I have 5 of them together. And the cories and the otos swim together as well. It's really cool.

Great fish! They look like one big school in the first pic. :)

ooooo you got my 200th post lol i just saw that
 
The cories are awesome and I love that they swim around the middle level of the tank. They don't stay on the bottom like all the other cories. They are small! Males only about 3/4" full grown and females slightly over 1" full grown and of course have rounder abdomens. They do not eat any fish eggs or fry, even their own and it's said that they are superior to any other snail, cory, or shrimp for cleaning the tank and keeping the bacteria level down. I acquired this group from Eric Bodrick who is one of the top rare fish cory breeders in the US and am working on getting some more breeders from Frank Falcone (aka coryologist) the other famous US rare cory breeder. With some luck, I'll have babies to sell in the coming year.
