black cories?

by **flip** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 13:43

we took a look at the lfs yesterday to see what they had and get some prices for when i go to get the new stock for the 20 gallon. i was looking at the cories and they had one tank that had black cories. it had black gravel in it and by some miracle one of the cories swam up hich enough that he didnt blend in or i would have never seen them!! they were labled as emerald green cories, but i highly doubt it since they are pitch black. is there a chance they are the emeralds? they were the cheapest ones they had too at $1.79 a piece!!!!!USD! if they have them in a couple weeks i would like to get them, but need to figure out what kind they are and if they are going to be ok in the 20 gallon!!

there black schultzei corys. thats a amazing price there about £15 each round here.

by **flip** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 17:52

i think the price is because they have no idea what they are! they are labled as the emerald and are obviously not so thats good for me Twisted Evil

by **kizno1** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 17:54

do you fancy shipping some over here? lol wish my lfs would mix theem up ive always fancied some but to get a group of 4 would be £30 wich is a little to much for me.

by **flip** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 18:33

lol if i could i definitly would!! hehe the shipping would be too much for them and the wallet! i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw them, and then when i had a lok back at lilacamys post i was even more excited!! im going to talk to hubby and see if he will let me go ahead and get them next week. keep your fingers crossed!!!

are you going to put them in the 55g with the snails? they would love it in there and they shoulnt eat the snails unless there newly born but if the corys spawn the snails will eat there eggs.

no they are going in the 20 gallon up in the main part of the house im redoing that tank. im making it sand and getting cories and a gourami to put in with a school of my danios and some platy i have. it looks like rubbish atm so im going to fix it up!

by **kizno1** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 18:59

sounds good. the corys should stand out really nice an play sand or white sand.

by **flip** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 19:04

that what im thinking! im going to use play sand so they will really pop! oh i hope they still have them!!

by **kizno1** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 19:07

they make no waste compared to a bn ive given up trying to keep the floor of my 30G clean because i never get anywhere evan if i clean it every day it still piles up

by **silverrabbit** Mon 12 Apr 2010 - 22:24

Can you go back sooner? they sound too good to miss!!

i got the sand in the tank and got the cories today. not sure if they are the black ones now that they are in my tank though...they looked black at the store on the black gravel and while i was acclimising them but now they are much lighter. not sure what the real color is now! i think they are the emerald they had them labled as if that is right? i dont know but they are wonderful! i only got three of them as the rest didnt look that great but also got two albino and one false julli i cant spell the name of them. they were labled as julli but im pretty sure it isnt.

Glad they were there still and doing ok still! littleangel

by **flip** Sun 18 Apr 2010 - 14:26

thank you sheena! i watched them for a good hour lastnight and they are really active! accept for the false julli, it is very shy compared to the others but i can always get a few more like it and see if that helps the shyness Very Happy

by **Haych** Sun 18 Apr 2010 - 17:32

I had jullis before and they are extremely shy creatures - but i also found they arent as hardy as the other variants

by **flip** Sun 18 Apr 2010 - 18:33

so far other than being very shy it looks to be in good health. hope it stays that way!! it is so pretty, i cant wait to get a couple more of them! are ethe false jullis just as shy as the jullis?

by **tropical girl** Sun 18 Apr 2010 - 18:53

by **Haych** Sun 18 Apr 2010 - 20:01

by **flip** Sun 18 Apr 2010 - 20:22

TG- i didnt do it! lol!

haych- apparentally if the dots on the head are individual and not connected together kinda like a maze then they are the real julli's the ones with the maze dots are the false ones. Very Happy
