Suggestions for cory tank

I have a 5 gallon tank set up that currently houses 2 pygmy cories and 1 habrosus cory. Ideally, I would like to add 1 more pygmy and 2 more habrosus, however habrosus are no longer available anywhere in my city. (I've been looking for months.) Would 2 panda cories be a suitable addition, or would ...

Thanks, Mtlhead. I got my cories at the PJs in Kingsway also, but their supplier is not supplying anymore. They say perhaps there was a problem with this batch or something. I'll be honest, the condition of their tanks has gone downhill lately though. I have not been impressed the past few times I ...

32,800,000 Canadians spread over 9,984,000 sq kms (CIA World Fact Book)... we are a big country indeed. But perhaps not as big as you think, as I, too, live in E-town (as the "cool kids" call it). LOL, I bet we're next door neighbors, or something crazy. If you want a really fun local game, call the ...

He is very lonely. He mopes around and sometimes he's a bit droopy. What I really want is 3 more, for a total of 4. My betta bites his tail frequently, so I would rather be understocked rather than over, because he's so susceptible to fin rot with his shredded tail. Unfortunately, it doesn't look ...

Lonely cory

I have a 5 gallon tank with a betta in it. Some time ago, I wanted to add pygmy cories. The pet store told me that in a tank that size, 2 would be best, so (foolishly believing the advice of the pet store) I bought a pair. 1 got sick and died, leaving the other alone with the betta. That was about 2 ...

Thanks for the info. I have sand in my tank, so the food just sits on top. I think if the tablets are crushed, the betta will leave them alone. He's talented, but there's no way he could pick up food that's so small, not with his upturned top-feeder mouth. (Won't stop him from trying, persistent ...

Thanks for the info so far. One more quickie (I just want to be a good fish-mommy), is there anything I can do to encourage my cory to eat? He just hangs out, does his thing, and doesn't seem to notice the food on the bottom. Meanwhile my betta swoops in and eats it, and then it's too late for the ...

D'oh! Now that you mention it, I cut my little tablets into quarters, not halves. The problem I have with freeze-dried bloodworms is that they float, and there's no way that my betta would let them sink. As it is, it's hard getting him to leave the sinking food on the bottom of the tank alone ...

Feeding pygmy cory

Hello, I'm brand new to cories and I have a question. I have 1 pygmy cory in a 5 gallon tank, along with a betta. (I had 2 cories, but one died, and I hope to replace him as soon as there are more in the store.) My question is, how much should I feed this little guy? He's still fairly small, and he ...
