I've had mine for about 4 weeks, and she gets more and more outgoing everyday. She does have her "favorite" spots, but is trying new ones here and there.

If yes, it will grow quite big. 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

After about an hour, she was dead. The CAE is to blame. I'm taking it to my boyfriend to put in the tank with his 6" catfish. Maybe it will eat it.] *Kristin*
