Rhonda - I don't mind you asking about cory's on the rainbowfish group
per se (at least its about
fish :-) ), however, you might catch some grumbles from others and at
the same time, you may not find anyone with the expertise you are
looking for. There is a catfish group like this at:
catfish-l at uunet.ca

Sorry, I don't know much about cory pygmaeus myself, but some of the
guys on the catfish group undoubtedly will.
