Corydoras are bottom dwelling scavenging fish, usually. They eat the food that reaches the floor of the tank. Different colors and patterns of corys are available. The thick scales of the fish make them suitable even for semi aggressive fish tank. The movement of corydoras as a group along the tank bottom is an eye-catching sight. It has whiskers to search the gravel. Being sensitive, the gravel should be soft enough for them to turn over. They can disrupt some of the vegetation if they are not strong rooted. A nice hardy fish to add to your tank.

Have you heard of something called Food Chain or Food Web or Circle of Life? All are interconnected. Each living organism is connected to other living organisms for food and survival. An insect feed on the microorganisms in the soil, a frog eats the insect, a snake eats the frog, a peacock eats the snake, a fox eats the peacock, and so on. Due to advancements in the human intelligence, (s)he has destroyed this balance in many ways. Being superior being, the onus is on the humans to correct the imbalance and act as a bridge. The organisms in the city life are the most affected. Every contribution to the care of any living organism matters! ARK - One Act of Random Kindness at a time would do.

If your next action is not determinable, you are crazy. Maybe you can end up in a jail or mental asylum. If you next action is determinable, you are a slave to someone or something. You can continue to live it as long as the person or force allows it. The cat-dog story.

Thinking whether your guppy is worth the money you bought for? The main reasons for the cost of a guppy are the appearance, the aesthetic value in a tank, intensity of color, contrast colors and patterns, clear patterns, good shape, good finnage, activeness and most importantly the effort spent to grow the fish, transport it and condition it. The rarity of the fish is based on how much of the strain is upheld and also on how much offspring were born and survived. You can contact FGA (Fancy Guppy Association) if you want to know more information on guppies.
