Well as I did start this argument Id like to say that I do like corys too but I think many people might buy them without considering the alternatives (e.g loaches!!).
I vote loaches-zebras and weatherloaches in particular
I LOVE cories! They're SO CUTE, I voted for them. Granted I dont have any loaches...but I think grown up loaches look too much like snakes for me to like them too much
yea corys kinda roll their eyes from time to time and when they do it looks just like there winking at you.i think that corys are a better beginning fish than a loach,but loaches are more entertaining.but corys have to be an all time ultimate aquarium inhabitant.
aaaaararrrgghhh! i just saw SKUNK loaches at Pet Discount the other day. ohhhhh now i need another tank! and they were only 99 cents each! DANG!! *bites thumb
