Re: Corydoras bilineatus
Hi, Corydoras sp. "San Juan" is to my knowledge only a trade name (like deckeri cory in Colombia) not used for only one species or form but a mix. No one in Iquitos will keep those separated acc. to locations and when those are stressed or juveniles they look probably anyway same. This is ...

Re: Corydoras bilineatus
Hi Daniel,
I can remember that many years back there were in GB some alleged Corydoras bilineatus which might have been descendants of the stock of Joachim Knaack but I don't remember if this was confirmed or not.
If so, I assume Ian or Hans-Georg might know more...

Corydoras bilineatus
Hi, I'm quite sure than some if not all picture in the data base are not really Corydoras bilineatus . They are all additionally labeled as "San Juan" cory which is the trade name for Elegans group corys in Iquitos, Peru. I think it's named after the district San Juan Bautista south-west o...

Re: Corydoras IDx2
Hi,
I would tentatively also say C. napoensis and C. elegans.
CW008 looks also similar but to my experience this is unlike many other species in the elegans group quite uniform in colouration and has a more regular striped pattern.
C. nanus can be excluded by minimum 100% .

Hi Eric,
perhaps you were refering to this one: CW132 ?
But I also think that B. splendens is more probable.

However, I'm surprised to see those in an auction, were there any commercial imports or has someone bred them ?
