Cory Lazer

Post by Ryan B »

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was any references or if anyone can provide info for me on Corydoras aeneus "orange lazer" or "green lazer". I used to work at an aquarium store, and we ordered whole whack of both of these guys about 5 or 6 years ago, and I haven't seen any since. What's the purpose of the two different colours, and should they be kept seperate?

Thanks for your help. :D

HI!

You could also read this: http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworl ... tripe).htm

Regarding housing, I can only recommand you not to house both species together as they are probably very closely related and might well be able to hybridate each other...
So keeping both species seperated is highly recommanded!!!

Cheers

Thanks guys. That was great info. Any idea on the availability of these fish? I really like the greens :P And any idea of price, I think I was selling them at the store for $25/pair. Thanks.
