C16 would normally have the banding on the dorsal ridge extending into the caudal fins. These does not seem to be the case for the specimens above. I would also go with Corydoras simulatus . However, I wouldn't be surprised to find a few C16 within the shipment. They seem to be found with Corydoras ...

Hi Squid,

I do feed my corydoras with Tetrabits amongst other things. They are quite happy with in. Variety in the diet is always good for the fish.

Cheers,

Does it look like this?



Here's another of the same species with varied markings.



Cheers,

hmm... that looks familiar....

Cheers,

There is a black band across the eyes. Adult Corydoras loretoensis don't seem to have this physical feature. Body shape also seems to be different.

Could they be juvenile Corydoras kanei?

A better picture would really help but I suppose it's not an option in this case...

Cheers,

Thanks guys for the kind words. They are going into a 4 ft community tank tonight. I'm not exactly starting a breeding project, but if it happens, we'll see how I can manage with the time constraint that I have. nice pics, did you use photoshop or something else?? Yup. I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS t...

Hi guys, Just bought some Corydoras panda . Common as they might be, they are still very adorable and difficult to resist. So I ended up with a whole tankful of them. Here's some photos from this batch. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/Tanks/Panda%20tank/_Y1W2786ER.jpg http://img.ph...

And very well fed too!!

Perhaps ready for breeding soon?

Cheers,

This is the message I get from the link...

Hi Diva,

Cant seem to see the pictures. Perhaps you can paste a link instead.

Cheers,

Certainly looks like Corydoras leucomelas...

Hi Silurus, That's quite a bit to digest... By the way, what's cleithral (humeral) processes? Care to point me somewhere where I can read up more? As for the top of the snout, we often see some corydoras (e.g. Corydorus aeneus/paleatus ) having a deeper body, kind of like having a hunched back. This...

Hi Ian, Thanks for the comments. My initial suspicion was that these are two extreme variations of the same species. However, I do realise that there are some with spots on the head while others are without the spots. The pictues in your site (C26 & C46) being one example. Do you think C26 and C...

Hmm.. Corydoras atropersonatus have clear caudal and dosal fins. The second fish above has marked fins. So that rules out Corydoras atropersonatus . Unfortunately, I do not have any information on where the fish was imported from. In another literature, I do see a picture of Corydoras orphnopterus ,...

Hi guys, Just wanted to find out if these two are indeed Corydoras kanei . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Corydoras/Corydoras%20kanei/_Y1W2086R.jpg This specimen has spots on the head. http://benny.clubsnap.org/gallery/albums/album101/GY1W1296R.jpg This speci...

I find this book quite useful too.



Should be available from http://www.amazon.com or http://www.aquabid.com

Cheers,

Here's a profile shot..



Cheers,

Hi guys,

Got this recently.



Suspected it to be Corydoras elisae, but can't be sure. It certainly has baring on the dosal and caudal fins, abeit a bit faint.

Anyone?

Cheers,

Certainly looks like it. Pretty healthy too and nice fins.

Cheers,

These looks like Corydoras sterbai to me. The markings on the head are white spots on dark coloration.

Cheers,

Hi guys, Just got a trio of these and I thought I'll share... http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Corydoras/Corydoras%20haraldschultzi/GY1W1226R.jpg http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Corydoras/Corydoras%20haraldschultzi/GY...

Thanks HH!

Here's a complete side profile.



Cheers,

Hi guys,

My good friend just brought this back from Sumatra, Indonesia.



I wonder if the ID is accurate?

Thanks!

Cheers,

I do find that Corydoras sodalis has rather varied markings on their body. Some have a distinct black line along the lateral line, others just have an overall netted marking on the whole body.

Cheers,

Hi guys, Got a some juvenile Corydoras cervinus yesterday and thought I'll share some pictures.. http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Corydoras/cervinus/GY1W0295ER.jpg http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Corydoras/cervinus/GY...

Thanks!


Parotocinclus sp. 3 "peru"

And that's not ich on the fish. This species grows up to 3 cm only.

Cheers,

Wish I was there!

Can't wait to see the pictures!

Cheers,

Hi guys, Got this from a peru shipment and have no idea what species it is. http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Others/IMG_8355R.jpg http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v85/aquaticzone/FreshWater%20Aquatics/Others/IMG_8353R.jpg http://img28.photobucket.com/album...

Here's a link to Ian's page.
