I have many established tanks and many species of fish and shrimp but for some reason I just cannot keep Pygmy Cories alive. They usually arrive alive but tiny and stressed and then die over the next couple weeks/months. Maybe there’s something about my water they don’t prefer but I’ve not had this much trouble with any other species of fish. Shrimp in the same tank are healthy and breeding but the pygmies just slowly die off.

I do wish they would send them out a bit bigger… I know it’s a small species but they come in really tiny and skinny and I can’t help but feel it’s a losing battle.

Three catfish arrived okay,all alive. If they were any smaller, you wouldn't be able to see them in the bag.

They came very stressed and pale i thought they where albino, but after a day of settling in they got there color back. i think i am even starting to see new growth, they are very active and happy
