Title: Possible baby peppered cory
Post by: Littlefish on May 14, 2016, 09:17:06 PM
Was just looking at the temperate tanks. In the 50L the WCMM and amano shrimp seem to have settled in. The 70L is the most established and everyone seems to get on well. They seem to be good with the planting in the tank and the extra stack of bogwood. Saw something very small under a piece of wood. It swam to the front of the glass, around the end of the wood, and headed back underneath the next piece of wood. Only managed to get the phone to take a picture when it was swimming away. I can only imagine that it is a baby cory as nothing else has been seen to be "active" recently.
Only time will tell I guess, unless it gets eaten by one of the original platy or zebrafish.

Thanks.
It has disproportionately large, dark eyes at the front, which makes it look adorable and ridiculous in equal measure.  ;D
Hope it survives, but also hope that the grown-ups give it a rest before they over-stock the tank. Perish the thought I'd have to get another one.  ::)
