Thank you Nancy, Keith, OneWay, Ashleigh, Mick and Tinman! :D

I'm glad my daughter saw him at the store. It'll be fun watching him grow.

Tinman, your post made me laugh, but I laughed harder the time you called me a parasite. :lol:

the two times I have seen/ bought dario's from a store they have looked VERY poor. Half of them died in the qtank :(
I personally don't think they should be mixed with any mellow corys.
dario have grit!
drain your pool!

I agree 100%. :) I quickly separated them when I realized that he was going to be a pest (stress) to them. He's quite a fiesty little thing; he has a lot more spunk than my kubotai have.

It never occurred to me that Dario are a problem with Cories. Whoops. I have three small Dario in my grow out tank with 10 Cories. Everybody's growing out.

I also have large Dario with many Cories in my main tank without problems. I must be really lucky (as well as still learning my fish rules).
