My new fish

The latest addition to my new tank, and my favourite corydoras so far, corydoras robineae.
They are also known as flagtail corys.  They are the only corys with a flag tail, they stay small, and they are mid level corys, so they move all over the mid height and bottom of the tank. This is NOT a good picture of them, they are much prettier in person.  :)

Wow!   Glad to see they are settling in nicely. :)

That is pretty cool I thought all corries where bottom dwellers.

Yes, they are all doing swimmingly, thanks to your skillful netting Art :)

These corys, as well as the pygmy corys, corydoras hastatus, prefer the mid level of the tank.  They're very active and visible, although I am sure they will be happier when I finish aquascaping the tank and they have more cover.

They really are very nice fish, it is fun to observe the fleet doing maneuvers together. They look so distinguished in formation flying their flag tails in the breeze, but not so when the otocinclis use them for rebound walls to bounce off of.  Any chance of more pictures succinctfish?
