They like to pancake onto the pellets so no one else can reach them.

Got a group of 6 about a week ago, 2M 4F They seem to be doing well so far though one has this pinkish throat patch, where the other have a metallic patch there (image 2).

Is this just a variant or something to be concerned about?

Otherwise acting similar to the rest, eating and bickering over prime spots.

Smooth sand and river rocks along the bottom with driftwood and plants in tank.

Had him for about 4 months. Quarantined with shrimp that he bowled around. Now he's being a terror in our 32 fluval flex. Multiple hides, i feed on opposite sides of the tank...

Don't even look at his rock. He also wont share food even if he isnt planning to eat. 🙄

You'd think I'm starving these guys as they ravage the pleco's wafer. They get feed 2-3+ times a day currently as they seem to be younger. They've grown a lot since I got them 3 weeks ago, but there is some month old cory fry for scale in there.

These things are constantly hungry.

When I do matinence on the tank these guys will swim onto my hand and try to nibble me even. Never had a cory try to eat me before, hah.

These 4 sterbai are at least 20-25+ years old (I think one might be a "baby" they had a couple years after we got them, but still at least 20 years old, the rest are at least 25 years old). They're a bit wonky looking but still doing their thing.

They've got 3 "younger" sterbai buddies too (approx 5 years old), as well as another 10+ cory of another species to hang with.

Just got a group of young Aspidoras from a LFS, apparently from a local breeder. I don't think I've ever seen aspidora for sale locally before. So far they're very active and not shy at all, which seems like they should be far more common/ popular.

They were held in the store with some larger killifish that were biting their tails, if anyone notices them being short. Hopefully they'll grow back in well, but even with the damage I couldn't pass them up and wanted to get them before they got damaged worse.

I'm guessing these are a.raimundi/spilotus, but it wasn't specified in store.
