Sorry, not picked up on your e-mail, have been in Canada for the past week.
This looks similar to C151 from the Rio Tapajos.

Re: New Corydora "Green Nanay"
Do you have catch location and standard length details, these would be good to compare with existing know species from the same location and if it is new then it will be allocated with a new CW Number.
Would appreciate details in e-mail or pm.

It Might be C. cruziensis, but I would need to have an idea where it was collected and what the standard length is.

Re: Advice On Breeding Wild Caught Corydoras Adolfoi
First off you need to keep them on the warm side, say around 27-28C. Then it is a case of getting them into tip top condition before attempting any spawning triggers. The chances are when they are in condition they will spawn without anything other than a normal water change.

Re: Cory identification needed. Thank you in advance.
Without know its catching location I would say that the fish shown is C142, it has the same colour pattern as C. melanisteus, but the latter is a slightly larger species, which also has a longer snout.

Re: id help on corys
The two long snouted species are at this moment in time unknown, Going by the head and snout shape, I do not believe they are C. septentrionalisit, There is a possiblility they are C. cortesi. The fish at the back look like C. napoensis.

If you haven't booked your place at the the best Catfish event of the year, then you need to get a move on.
There will be no problems for day visitors, but if you want to stay for the full package there are very few rooms left so don't delay book your place today.

Re: Possible Hybrid Orange Laser
Before we can actually see if we are dealing with species crossing we need to determine the true identity of the species involved. The so called 'aeneus' group is a very confusing one, and many may be proven to be just regional colour form and I think it will take science a long time to sort them ou...

Most of my breeding groups of Cory's are in tanks that measure 18"long x 12" wide x 10" high. These are mostly in groups of 6 or 7. Personally I would say that your tank is easily capable of housing a dozen of either of your preferred specie, but the stocking levels of your other fish...

Re: Corydoras Amandajanea & Corydoras Sp C143 the SAME speci
One thing to remember with all fish is their patterns will vary from one to another, with some species it may be minimal and far greater variation in others.
And the head shap is also right.
I would still say C. ephippifer.
