Sin in Style Mega Fish Posts: 1323 Kudos: 1119 Votes: 165 Registered: 03-Dec-2003	very skittish but may be because of lack of numbers. very short nose and barbels. tends to swim in place in the current when the other cories dont. doesnt look like the other cories i have. i believe i have 2 and would like to know what it might be. *Sin in Style attached this image:*

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Larger groups tend to make corys less skittish. Also, they will become introverted if there is another fish harassing them, but once that fish is removed, they should return to normal.

Sin in Style Mega Fish Posts: 1323 Kudos: 1119 Votes: 165 Registered: 03-Dec-2003	not new at all been in there for months. rare sight to see them in the open so 1st time ive had a chance to get a pic. there are no agressive fish unless you concider yoyos agressive, and there are about a dozen cories in the tank. im hopeing some anubias nanas will lay some cover and make them feel a bit safer. not much ground cover in the tank yet.
