Lexi B Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Like many of you, i ADORE corycats. currently, I only have a small school of pygmy cories (cuties)- but about a year ago I did have a larger set up with false juliis. I'm hoping that maybe sometime this year/ early next year I can set up my 30 again. I just can't pick my preference! The tank is going to be peaceful community, honey gouramis and corydora. I'm thinking about a small schooling fish like neons or cpd if they're suitable tank mates and the tank can support the stocking I LOVE the cryptic patterns on juliis and their adorable black splotched fin, but pandas are also so adorable! I feel like juliis are the cool choice, fun to look at and beautiful in their own right. But the pandas just look so pinchable! I adore their simplicity and big ol spots! How do i choose?!

Flumpweesel Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Well there is no wrong answer here but why not do something new since you had Juliis before. I have so far never bought the fish I set out to get something else always distracts me. But I don't think there is a wrong cory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 Bettas and would happily pick a 4th if granted enough space... I'm a creature of habit 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real problem is there's SO MANY amazing corydoras. I need like 15 tanks! I wish you the best of luck deciding. I think my next ones are the venezualean or the slate corydoras.

I think my other favorite right now is the peppered corydoras. Especially being the subtle green. Such a unique color and not as gigantic as the emerald corydoras. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) My favorite by far and what I wanna do next goes by 3 names. Smudge spot, violet or similis. They are amazing and have some purple! Edited August 12, 2022 by Cinnebuns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I have peppered and what I believe is Venezuelans. The peppered are braver and I see them much more. The Venezuelan are very skittish but do think they are cute. I can't get a picture of them for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I’m a huge Panda fan! So much so I made a thread. Now Julli are gorgeous and I see the attraction the pattern is really lovely. The things is the bigger the group the more personality you’ll see. I’m not a big fan of mixing corys. I have some venezuelanus in with aeneus and it kind of drives me nuts but they’re so similar I’ve decided to let it slide. If you want something pygmy size with panda like coloring hastatus are a good choice. This is a fun problem to have! Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
