They are mostly Sterbai cories which have bred in the previous tank, leopard cories, adolfoi, schwartzi cory, large bronze cories and another species which i cannot remember the name. Some of these cories are approaching 8 years old.

where to find these? Can they take large water changes?

I highly recommend getting Sterbai, because they require very similar temperature as discus, as well as Adolfoi, because they are so cute, but my favorites are still the huge bronze cory, which i got from Wuhu in Tiong Bahru.
Sterbai are readily available in many lfs, Adolfoi not so easy to find.

When you do huge water changes, it actually trigger the cory to spawn, and they like it. Cories do better in large groups of 6, but in the wild they swim together in the hundreds.

Will search for some to put in my comm tanks. Only worry is that they get sucked up into the drains when waterchanging lol.

Beautiful discus and tank setup!

I recently revamped my discus/mixed tank too and looking for new inhabitants.

By the way, i am also giving away 1 tub of assassin snails free. If anyone is interested, just PM me with your contact.

Very nice set up and clear tank

My pigeon got adopted by a nice bro, and so i have space to grow out these 3 inches red marlboro which i bought from Y618. Hope they grow out well, and they are happily eating beefheart in a bare 2ft grow out tank.



I find red marlboro rather pretty, a throwback to their original discus colour and still retaining nice markings
