Concolor or agassazii?

Post by PaperDoves »

Which would you choose, and why? Or should I just jump and get both? They will be going into a planted 55 gallon tank with tetras and a couple of angels, well filtered, perfect parameters (0.0. <15).

Preference is personal, so get what you like. Myself, I'd get agassizii first. Having said that, concolor is much rarer in my area, so I might buy concolor first and get agassizii at my convenience later.

Happy fishing!

Thank you! I'm leaning toward getting them both now. I just bought 12 pandas, they of course are my favorites. The more I look at the concolors the better I like them.

I vote for both of them but if you have to choose I would go for the Concolors as to me they are just sleeker and I like the one tone coloration you don't often see in Cories, they would also contrast better with the pandas in my opinion.
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...
