Okay, saw them @the LFS this weekend....fins the lenght of a male betta, pretty sure they were bronze cory....please tell me this is from selective breeding and not genetic engineering ?

In anycase I found it rather distrubing....they werent' acting like normal corys .

It's selective breeding.

It's so sad that they do it. All of corys' fins are meant to be fuctional, and when they are that long it's hard to function with them.

Plus it's just ugly...

Why ruin a fish that is perfect to begin with? I don't see the point.

The wild Betta, a favorite of mine, did not have long flowing fins before an enterprising breeder, not of this country, took over...

Now look at them.
