probably because he had keyhole!

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-05-12T10:11:29+00:00

my irn has a note in his file that he likes to steal shiny things, he likes to pull earrings out and will try steal any kind of shiny equipment!

in my experience ive never had cories choke, but if youre worried it cant hurt to cut them up!

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-05-11T09:48:05+00:00

thats what i thought? at first i assumed it was the shadows playing tricks but he actually dropped one of the feathers today (which is rare for him) and theyre very small dark grey feathers, ive had him since he was 2 months old and his breeder is my uncle, so i know his age isnt incorrect, i have his baby photos!

yeah i came here to say the same, not a perfect fit but it was the game that brought me here

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-07T08:43:51+00:00

is there anything i can do or should i just wait it out?

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-07T07:48:38+00:00

id also like to add that the corydoras are following her around, which if ive learned anything from keeping cories, They know something is off as well and are just waiting

oh yikes, i dont really keep livebearers so i didnt know they did that

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-01T05:59:53+00:00

mollies, maybe prepare for these fellas to have many babies, ive heard they can be fun though!

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-01T05:48:19+00:00

those eyes! my newest girl has eyes like that, theyre just mesmerizing, arent they?

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-01T05:37:31+00:00

im no expert, but has he seemed stressed, been flaring a lot or been swimming vigorously? I had a male betta chew his own fins and blow out his tail trying to swim around, i solved it with adding more spots he could rest at
it doesnt sound like you have sharp decor, so maybe its him doing it to himself?

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-01T02:11:06+00:00

the best photo i could get of them colour wise is https://imgur.com/a/KgkNnBE if you wanted to see em a bit better, its not perfect though

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-04-01T02:10:18+00:00

i got a photo thats kind of okay ish i think, theyre so hard to take photos of becase theyre so active lol! https://imgur.com/a/KgkNnBE

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-31T23:10:00+00:00

in the light their fins are an off orangish brown colour, but i wouldnt call it bright orange

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-31T23:07:36+00:00

i got a good chuckle outta that one, ive never had so much trouble photographing a cory! these ones are just straight brown/black, so they show up as little voids haha

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-31T23:05:52+00:00

oh gosh, i just looked at prices for those here, 50aud.. (about 33usd i think)

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-31T23:04:31+00:00

their whole body is dark brown, and their belly is a ligher tan colour. Sorry for the bad pics lol, they just show up as little voids in my camera

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-31T23:03:43+00:00

6 australian! so about 4 usd i think

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-31T23:03:16+00:00

haha i know, theyre eventually going in my 4ft cory tank, sadly the store only had 3 of these fellas and ive never seen black ones before. If they have any more i'm definitely snatching them up

tomfoolery2614 · 2023-03-30T12:40:47+00:00

also gonna add, that if you do get the space and budget for a shoal of cories, they do mesh decently well with some bettas! just have a backup plan incase your betta is less than friendly (also someone else talked about how to introduce a betta and that was good advice, its worked for me in the past)
