Went fish shopping this afternoon and came home with bettas but also 2 orange striped corys they are just stunning, i want to get some more next time i go as could only afford 2 today as £8.50 each is a lot especially as i had other fish i was buying too.

Heres some photos of them:

They are getting on well with my 2 albino corys, they keep following each other about.

Think those are just bronze cory's hun or Corydoras aeneus
they are actually the same spieces as the albino ones you commonly get for sale in the lfs. As with most fish spieces coloours vary some are more bronze than others and some look more green

These guys are one of the hardier spieces or Cory. Ive got 10 Similus cories in my community tank, so cute but a little more delicate and a good bit smaller than the bronzies

They where named in the shop as gold laser corys is that the same thing? They are beautiful so i dont mind what they are called, lol!

I can't tell from the pictures but I hope they are not rice painted which will wear off as they grow or like the neon danios that are painted by chemically altered methods

Oh nice one I looked up 'gold lazer cory' and heres what I found - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] looks like they come with an orange or a green stripe.

They are lovely hun Ive never heard of them before but thats not surprising considering how many different cory spiecies there is lol and they do look a little similar.

Yes thats them on the link they are nice but pricey at £8.50 each, they had the green lasers too but where even more expensive i think they cost £16 each.

I do like the bottom cory picture, i may need to look for that type of cory next time i go

Have you been ripped of there hun, im sure they were in pet at home for 4.00, i will have to have alook now nect time im in

Iv never seen them at pets at home, iv seen the bronze ones but never the gold laser corys. They grow a lot bigger than the albino corys iv got.
I wont buy fish from pets at home anyway as they are always very unhealthy from my local one.

I got some last week from the same shop as Natalie, the species is Corydoras sp. Cw010, and I think the green lasers are Cw009. They're not painted, dyed or modified, they're just a variety of cory which doesn't show up much in the pet trade. The stripes show up really bright under the right lighting lovely little fellows.

Here are mine:
