My question is;
What is your favourite Cory(s)? And what do you think is special with your favourite(s)?
My favourites are;
Eques
Adolfoi
Green Laser
(These are my favourites of the Corys I have in my aquariums at the moment)

My all time favourite Cory is Corydoras pygaeus This was the very first Cory I bred in 1974 and the one that set me on my Cory breeding trail.

My new favorite is
, having just acquired six wild caught specimens three days ago. Love those yellow fins!
Until this, my favorite was
, because the coloration is so striking.

I think my favorite must be
Corydoras adolfoi , the very first one I bred. I'd only had them for 3 weeks, wild caught fish and everything, when I suddenly found eggs on the glass one day. I think I must declare them as my first true love! ♥ And you never forget your first love, do you?
After them comes
Corydoras eques

I have to say that my favorite are my Corydoras habrosus. I just love these little guys and they are really cool to watch. Hopefully they will breed for me in the near future.

I just got habrosus and they are adorable !!
I loved my Pandas in the past as well. If I had the room sterbais are great looking cats esp in large groups. A member of my plant club has several schools of Corys in his two 180g planted tanks.

I love my C. weitzmani, C. haustatus and my biggest challenge C. caudimaculatus that has only let me raise 2 fry in the last 30 years.
Good fish are spawned and raised in Burlington.
