Hello,
I was in Petco for some cheap heaters for transportation purposes and I couldn't help but look at their catfish. I normally don't like looking at their fish because their knowledge is very limited and they do not treat their catfish properly. So, I went into the fish section and looked at their catfish... the usual:
- Sun Catfish labeled no bigger than 4 inches and require 20 gallon tank as an adult
- Otocinclus cats that are labelled as beginner level
- and to top off the list, Corys in a tank with gravel
All of these make me sad, however, the Corys were very small and active which is a good sign. There was a group of three, but again they are young, which means they have not yet developed their full color pattern. Although these could just be a common species of Cory, their color pattern doesn't match anything perfectly. I need help! What are these? I know these photos aren't the best but, to be fair they were really fast fish! If the images look side-ways just click on them and they will rotate.
Thanks,
--Sean
