Your favourite Corydoras?

Post by Anders Kaste »

Hello ;-)

I have seen a topic like this on PlanetCatfish before, but I think I could make a new :-)
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)

Ooooohhhhhh @-) I'm drooling! =P~ They're gorgeous.

I love my new because they're so beautiful! I love my Albino because of their feisty personalities and my because they're just so cute!

They're the only ones I have experience of... so far... :-

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.
