I just bought a small colony of these wonderful little cory's.

I know very little about them, if anyone could
shed some infomation about them it would
be much appreciated!

Ben

Hi Ben. Welcome to PC!

Are you're able to post a picture? It would ensure that you receive the right information about the Cory's you actually have.

Thanks for the welcome.

I have 5 of them.
below is a pic of 2 of them.
sorry its not the best pic but
it gives you an idea...

Would love to hear from those that have and
breed them.

Ben

I just imported a bunch of them. I've noticed that the dark contrast on their back is a good sign of health. They are easy to keep. They do well in my hard water. I run my tank at about 76F. Biggest I've seen is about 5-6cm the gold coloration stays with them their whole life.

Some notes just for cory's in general is if you add salt predilute it so it doesn't go to the bottom and brine. This seems to have some really adverse effects on cory's.

Waldo,
An Aeneus that does well at 76 degrees F.? They look smashing, too!

I know I've run it hotter then mid 80's with some others to.
The tank these are in has some warm water fish If they seem weak I'll take them out.... but for now they are hangin with Master Shreder my huge 4" Tatia Brunae

They look like gold laser corys to me and prefer cooler waters. I have 9 in a tank on there own and water at 24°c

heres a pic of mine. Apparently they are closer to Corydoras melanataenia than to Corydoras aeneus

Sorry the pics not too good, they are hard to get decent pics of

Here are a couple more pics of the Orange Laser Corydoras in case you want them. These were taken about two months ago when I moved them from one tank to another, pictures were taken in a tiny container I use for photos. No flash, just using two different 150 watt halogen lights about five feet away on either side.

I want to clarify that I agree they should be in cooler water. They weren't planned but nevertheless are welcom.
