They are small, peaceful, helpful in keeping a tank clean, and are very entertaining. These fish will shoal together in groups and frolic pretty much all of the time. If you are looking for good catfish to be housed in a community tank, look no farther than these fish." These guys hit almost 3 inches and are schooling. Id go with a 20gallon long when housing. I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French. |

| katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004 | Theyre fairly common and go by a few names: emerald corie, emerald brochis, etc. They are active, fairly large, and easy to care for.  KatieI'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French. |

| ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004 | Stocking is in my profile... But I have 2 blue cories (which are more brown then blue), 2 bronze cories, and 1 peppered cory ( i know they are all different its a very long story which I have in a different post). I am planning 2 get a few loaches too. |

| jasonpisani *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003 | I would get or Loaches or Corydoras. I don't like to mix them together. I don't know why, but that's how i think it. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

| ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004 | Well I see them as similar since they are both bottom feeders. I Would like to get loaches because i have a big snail problem. |
