All my cories, all in one photo... not always easy lol

(Just to clarify, theyre all weitzmani, paleatus, and trilineatus, right?)
And some bonus photos of individuals or small groups

This one with the black gravel is an older photo, ive long switched to sand.

Yes, IDs are good and they look great. It makes me happy that not much more than a decade ago, C. weitzmani was pretty much just the stuff of legend and now it's a reasonably commonly available species.

Theyre rare for my area still.

Its usually just the mainstream bronze, pandas, peppers, and "julii".

My first weitzmani was found in a mix up as "julii" and the store thought she was a panda who escaped the panda tank lol so they sold her as one. I kept an eye out for more but no luck.
I browsed a tiny mom and pop type store for a guppy and i saw a tank with assorted cories with 2 weitzmani in it, so i jumped on them.

By far my favourite cories. Theyre subtly pretty with their colouring.


Its interesting though they mix together, they show some specific behaviors. My peppers like to browse plant tops most and most often of the cories ill see them swimming up in the open with the danios, or hovering around plant tops like clumsy bumblebees lol
The trilineatus like to chill on top of rocks like theyre birds. Just perch and sit.
The weitzmani are most active, more enthusiastic about shoving their face into the sand than the others are.

I agree!

Beautiful Corys and they look very healthy. I love them, they look so cool all together enjoy them!!!
I kind of envy some of you guys. See some how stores here don't bring peppers, pandas, adolfi or others. So I'll have to pester the store owners, like I did to get my trilineatus or take the risk of order them by mail.

Keep taking good care of those corys.
