The hobby wouldn't be the same without these beautiful and diverse jewels 😉

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

To answer your header's question: Yes!

[@KeefesKoiHaven]

Great video! Just love Corydoras! I have them in every tank. Always moving around and always something to watch. 😊

[@crystalgrzelak]

I absolutely love Corydoras. I have Pygmy Cory’s, salt and pepper Cory’s and Julii Cory’s. The habrosous and Pygmy’s are together with upside down catfish tetras and a dwarf gourami. My Julii are with guppies. The habrosous and Pygmy snuggle together like they do with their own kind. They are the sweetest of fish.

Heck yeah they’re awesome I have red Venezuelan and hasbrosus together and emerald brochris in a separate tank I love them all so much

[@crystalgrzelak]

@@jordynjones855 the Venezuelan Corydoras are stunning. I’ve seen the black ones at my local fish store

[@jordynjones855]

@@crystalgrzelak the ones I keep have very dark bodies in the midsection with really vibrant red colors in the tail and head that fade away to a greenish bronze lower down on under the gill plates . Stunning fish

[@crystalgrzelak]

@@jordynjones855they sound gorgeous. They must look amazing when they school together and snuggle their faces. I absolutely love how sweet they act.

[@michaela-be4le]

Thank you for introducing so many of them to us 👍🏻

[@markfranklin8831]

Cory's are one of my favorite fish in the hobby. Thanks for sharing

[@thefishfiles]

Ours as well!

[@jessicab391]

That smudgepot Cory is a new one to me ❤

What your showing as corydoras julii is actually corydoras trilineatus. Generally, about 90% of the corys sold as julii are actually trilineatus. If your getting them from a wholesaler, it's almost guaranteed that's it's going to be trilineatus. The pattern on a julii's head is small spots rather than reticulations like on a trillineatus. An actual julii is much more rare and is a noticeably more expensive species.

Well, you may have a point. You can’t tell at that size it could be either, it’s a point, but too close to tell until nearer adult size

[@alethea9778]

My fav type of catfish!

[@alethea9778]

I love my sweet little cory’s! such personality!

[@davebnsfnscale4433]

I feed my Corys at night so they get enough in the community aquarium

[@TheRealTMar]

I recently got a school of bandits. They are so awesome and goofy!

[@lloyd081877]

My bronze and albinos interbreed. I get mostly bronze Corys from the union. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It makes sense as albinism is recessive.

[@Joes_Aquatics]

Great video 💪🏼

[@thefishfiles]

Glad you liked it!

[@masterofreality.o0o.535]

Do threy ever hybridise? I'd want to ensure they don't so mixing has that query. Thnks.

[@adeptgamezone8457]

I had 6 pepperd corys and 2 bronze corys all were active and rome around everywhere in my tank but i saw someone saying that i should keep a single species in a group so should i need to buy more bronze corys or this 6 peppered corys is enough for them to be considered as group i can see my bronze interract with each other sometimes peppered corys don't do that I never saw them interacting with each other they just swim close to each other sometimes they eat from glass together they also hang close to bronze but bronze chase each other swim together but they Dwell separately so do i need to have more bronze corys or they were good with my group of peppered corys which i already have

[@Soccerchick66]

I am looking for Corys to add to my 10 gallon blue dream shrimp tank. I have an outbreak of Copepods which I am looking to have cleaned up. Any suggestions?

[@lloyd081877]

I know this is off topic, have you done a video on the African Butterfly Fish? I keep seeing them in my LFS but the info I’m getting is vague and somewhat varied.

[@user-yp9se7ke5x]

Is looking at your aquarium with the LED white lights on harmful?

[@lakedog3616]

Since Orange Lasers and Albinos are the same species will they breed with each other? And Will the fry be mixed with some albinos and some Orange Lasers ?

[@thefishfiles]

They can breed but what comes out must not be as interesting as it sounds since no one has offered us the offspring

[@therick8155]

Nice video.☺️ But the Corydoras agassizii is not a agassizii, this guy looks more like a C. sodalis to me, what i can see. 😉

[@Saxonwomen]

So Corys won’t eat my guppy fry ?
