Tetra Companions

We were thrilled with how well the three Peppered Corys adapted to the large tank, so we decided to get a similar family of fish as the final additions for our second tank. We wanted to try a different species within the family, so it came to either Albino, Blue or Leopard Corys. The latter were the most expensive in the group, but they looked like darlings – and the decision was made when one of them winked at Ling at Aquatic Concepts.:)

Here are the three Leopards during their hour long acclimatization:

After having experienced difficulties distinguishing between the three Peppereds last week, this time, we asked the shopowner, Ivan, to help us choose ones that preferably could be told apart. Here’re the three fellows two hours after they were added into the tank.

Yep – they’ve setup their own catfish convention in one corner of the tank already.:)
