Neon Orange Cory???????

[PoconoGal]

Has anyone heard of a Neon Orange Cory? I saw it for sale on some website and they stated that this goldfish orange colored Cory was its natural color. Hmmmm... beautiful little Cory, but I could not find another mention of one anywhere.

Have a look at this and then you can do a search for some of the names that come up in the article.

Is this the same as yours, coryologist? What temps can these little guys be kept at? I know there are a limited few that can be kept at Discus tank temps (mine's at 84), so I didn't buy these guys because I couldn't find any info on them. Right now in my Discus tank I have c. julii and they do fine with the Discus. Congrats on the eggs, too! How long before they hatch? (I really don't know much about Corys other than the basics).

Well, that picture has been Photoshopped to the hilt, but I would guess that it is.

What temps can these little guys be kept at? I know there are a limited few that can be kept at Discus tank temps (mine's at 84), so I didn't buy these guys because I couldn't find any info on them.

My temps range from 66º in the winter to 76º in the summer.

Right now in my Discus tank I have c. julii and they do fine with the Discus.

Probably C. trilineatus, but that's a whole other story.

Congrats on the eggs, too! How long before they hatch? (I really don't know much about Corys other than the basics).

Thanks. Normal hatching is 4 to 5 days but can take up to 10 days at the lower temps. - Frank
