Guppysnail Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I’ve been looking for these for the past 3-4 years and couldn’t really find them. I ordered 15 from a vendor who was coming to yesterdays swap. 1 was DOA when I picked up the bag but did not look thin or sick. The other 14 looked pretty good. Not shy at all very out front and active. I put moina in the tank along with grindle worms. This morning they got live brine shrimp so adorable 🥰 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Congratulations! 😃 I’ve just been reading about Pygmy and dwarf size corydoras. After watching all the various videos and hearing how entertaining they are, I decided I need to put them on my list. I looked into the larger sizes first, but I’ve also decided that a 20 gallon tank will be my largest, so thought the smaller ones will be a better option for me. Have you seen the C. gracilis? Those are the ones I like the best. I like the tans more than the grays. But when I looked them up, first of all, they’re hard to find. Secondly - phew do they cost a lot! Hopefully in the future they’ll get more popular and prices will come down. Anyway, I’m sure they’ll do great for you. You seem to have a blue thumb! 🤣 I look forward to hearing more about them in the future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do please journal it and tag me so I can live vicariously through your adventure 🤗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Wow! Congrats! One of my dream fish to keep. They're so hard to find 😫 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The first time I saw a baby Pygmy that I didn’t hatch on my own I was stoked! Also completely shocked that such a tiny fry could survive on its own without me doing anything different to the tank. Nature finds a way! Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I saw a Pygmy come out on its own I about fell over. Those little ones survived a melini / CPD/pleco tank. I couldn’t believe it. On 3/26/2024 at 3:23 PM, knee said: Wow! Congrats!

They are in a species only set up so I can really get the breeding going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time i see them in online fish stores they’re out of stock. I really wish for all your fry to survive and even more fry to come 😁🙏🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricksonAquatics Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 They are such darling little things! The dwarf Cory species are some of my favorites. I’m yet to keep them, but the hastatus, habrosus, and pygmies are all on my list! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For awhile they were at my lfs often. But the past few years they have not been readily available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
