Regular Member selena685 Posted December 20, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted December 20, 2006 I went to the LFS yesterday and bought what I thought was a cory but I dont think it is. The person at the LFS said it was a cory and I think it belongs to the cory family but it looks and acts a bit different to my other cories. For example it moves a bit like my bristlenose, sucking the side on the tank and sometimes swims upside down. He is also very dark in color - Blackish grey. I'm concerned becuase he is only in a 10 gallon community tank so if he isn't a cory I'm worried he may not be suitable in that size tank as I have no where to put him if he grows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member selena685 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yes! Thats him. Thanks Sandy. From reading your link he is not going to grow too big and he isn't going to attack his tank mates. They were my two main worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jsrtist Posted December 21, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2006 They are neat little cats but are shy. In my experience, they have worked best in tanks with a lot of driftwood or rock ledges that they can sleep under. They're nocturnal, and that's pretty much the only way you'll see them in the daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member selena685 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks for that info. I was going to renovate the tank anyway so I will be sure to add more things for him hide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
