I named the new little catfish Dexter.

/goes to get him out of the bag


He's probably not a true cory. Chances are he's Brochis splendens.


Naw, he's definately a cory catfish. ^^ I meant that his color is a little different than my others, not that he looks funny. :3
I could have also read the wrong little paper, because he does school with my bronze cories.

just looked it up and indigos right, they arent true corys :/

This species is sometimes called the emerald cory. Brochis were separated from corydoras catfish by their longer dorsal fins with tall spiny first rays.

I do love fish :) they are so pretty. I don't own any right now though. I have in the past. I'v ehad three different betas, my first one was red and I called him Peep. My next one was red, white, and blue and I called him Swishy. My last one was blue and his name was Splash. They all lived longer than normal except for Splash, the cat got to him. :( My mom told me some exciting news about last week.. she said this spring I could get a few goldfish! I've always wanted some!

Make sure to get 20 gallons for the first fish, and 10 for each one after.

And make sure you get a filter rated for twice the size of the tank and a GPH for 10 times the size of the tank. (e.g a 20 gallon tank needs a filter rated for a 40 gallon and a GPH of 200.)

Bah!! Im salting my goldfish tank for parasites and I forgot that I had a cut on my finger and I stuck it in the salt/water mix!!!! I hope they love me for this.
