Why I like fishkeeping: New Corydoras rabauti

[bekateen]

If anybody asks you why they should join fish groups like this, here is a perfect response: Over the last two years, I've shared with you my successes and failures, my wishes and my dashed dreams. Not long ago I picked up a lone cory at my LFS, probably

Corydoras rabauti

(could be

Corydoras zygatus

, the jury will be out until it breeds; but there are no more specimens to be had at my LFS so I am stuck).

One of the members here, who shall remain nameless but who lives across the country from me, found seven more identical corys in their LFS and without a thought they bought them and mailed them to me, as an act of kindness. I am very grateful to them, and to all of you for your support.

Here are some of the fish, settling in to quarantine. Objectively, I cannot distinguish these seven fish from the one I already have. So if my first is rabauti, then so are these. If they spawn for me and the fry color pattern ends up being zygatus, that's fine by me. Either way these are good looking fish.

Cheers, Eric
