The cories are absolutely adorable. They just root around all day and shoal in groups periodically.
If they are so adorable and you love them so much then why don’t we see more pics of them on this thread :face-with-monocle::thinking-face::);)

Thought I'd post an update photo of the grown in betta tank. Has neocaridina shrimp, otos, pygmy cories, and chili rasbora as well as the now fully grown female betta. Tons of different plants.


Saltwater tank also looking pretty good. Needs algae clean up but other than that all the fish getting big, and a few of the corals have really grown in.

I'm very happy with progress especially with the betta tank. Gonna add some more pygmy cories soon. Sadly lost a couple in the tank move. I also just recently built a new computer because all my hobbies have to be expensive lol. They were out of the normal version of the case I wanted so now it's covered in GAMER lights haha.

Petco has some pygmies come in the other day. I didn't buy them and went back the next to find most of them dead or dying... I didn't buy any that day either.

Pygmy cories are my favorite freshwater fish and controversially they may have usurped valentini puffers as my favorite fish. They love using different broad leafed plants in the tank as hammocks together in the tank. It's my favorite

I added 5 new pygmy cories to replace the 2 I lost in the tank move. It was adorable to see them immediately glom on to the big 3 in follow the leader all over the tank. It's so cool. They quickly learned about feeding time from them which is hard for these fish. They also have already gotten to learn a lot of the great tank perching locations in the java moss, christmas moss, anubias, and swords
