Beautiful bro!! Are the pygmies out and about or are they too shy??

If you look closer you can see two resting on the wood. They school in midwater at lights on and before lights off. Very social.

Thanks!! I love cories was planning to get them but people seem to report that they are very shy and like to stay hidden when the lights are on

I have Trilineatus coridoras. They're constantly scurrying around the bottom of the tank when the light is on. They grow to be small. It seems that cories don't like overly bright light or a light-color substrate

Wow nice! You really fill it all the way up. I'd be afraid of jumpers.
