Andrew,

I have C35's an although it is a year away, I can bring you some at the next AACC. Also Frank Falcone (NJ) may still have A. albater and possibly others.

Ian

Well done Andrew, good to see you have finally joined the catfish breeding fraternity.

There should be a few more species available on your side of the pond, I will check a few people and see who has what.

Ian

I have issued CW-numbers for 2 recently discovered undescribed Corydoradinae species. CW080 this is a saddle-snouted species from the Madre de Dios drainage in South western Peru. CW081 is a short snouted species from the Rio Icana an affluent of the upper Rio Negro, Brazil. In accordance with Marko...

I would appreciate a copy as well please.

Mark,
Drop me an e-mail with your dates and I will see if I can arrange a day off at work so that I can meet up with you and take you to Pier & Aqualife.

In the last pic, the tow fish at the back are and the on in front is .

Young C. agassizii, I do not know of any recorded breeding of C. robustus, but the one feature that would be distinguishable this species is the dorsal/body band, in C. robustus it starts in front and below the dorsal spine and passes diagonally across the dorsal fin and not virtical like in your pi...

With any Cory species sand is a must, and for straight snouted species like C102 and C. leopardus I would have it at least 3/4" deep. Although neither of these species have been recorded as being bred in aquaria there is a possibility that they spawn at night and may even deposit their eggs in ...

At the first sign of the "Red Blotch" My advise is to make a 75% or larger water change, and then add a full dose of API's Melafix and a fairly strong air stone. If things have not improved, make a second 50% water-change after two days and repeat the melafix dose. With this treatment I ca...

I have looked at the images that were posted on aquabid and those fish are C. sp schultzei "Black" they are descendants of the fish first raised in Germany. Definitely not wild fish.

Ian

If the exporter can be more precise with the catch location then there is a possibility to identify it or ay least give it a recognition CW-number. Having said that there is C061 from Venezuela that looks pretty close, and a lot of fish from there ccome into the hobby through Brazil.

Ian

Difficult to be exact, but based on the colour of the stripe on the back I would go for CW038. In C113 it has a greenish tinge.

Ian

CW023.

Ian

CW010 is distinctly different from CW014/CW023, the have a different body shape and the strips are also different. With the "Lasers" Cw009 & CW010 the stripe is pretty much a constant width along the length of the body, with CW014/CW023 the stripe actually starts as a prominent shoulde...

Hi Jenn,

Welcome to Planet Catfish.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Edmonton and hope to return again in the not too distant future.

Ian

I have my table booked and will be there with Green and Gold Lasers, C. adolfoi and CW049 (Black diamond, these are all my own tank bred youngsters. I will also have a demonstration tank set up for Matt filters with 3 sizes of the very efficient air driven Power Lifters and supplied by Swiss-Tropica...

Possibly C154, but without accurate catch location information it is very difficult to identify many Cory species.

Ian

These could be C151 from the Rio Tapajos, Brazil. Unless you know the actual catching location it is very difficult to be certain, saying they came from Brazil is not really any help at all, it is a very large country. I don't think they are C43 because the head shape is not right.

Ian

In a months time, on the 18th August, the CSG will be holding its Summer lecture & Sales Meet. This is the place to either sell your excess stock of grab yourself a bargain. Unlike auctions you will have the whole day to sell your wares and at a fixed one off price of £15.00, no sales commission...

Sorry simonkirby1985

But you have posted this in the wrong section.

Ian

Please do not confuse the C. schultzei "Black" with the one they call "Venezuela Black", this fish is just a darker form of C. venazuelanus and is not actually black. It is also a smaller fish with a completely different body shape.

Ian

I was probably the first to have and breed this species in 2003/4 and I never encountered any of the deformity problems mentioned. For a better result I would take out the largest female and 2 or even 3 of the males and put them in a tank of their own.In my experience 5 males will not cope with 4 fe...

This species now has the code number CW079

Ian

This has now been issued with the code number CW078

Ian

Actually this is a closer match, but without checking map references I am not sure if it is in the range of your fish.I could not find a Rio Matto Grosso only the State of.

All Corydoras species are shoaling fish, but that is to say with their own kind and different species may or may not group with other species, it all depends on the species concerned and whether they occur naturally together. Some species do combine at certain times of the year, but not all species....

They have a good chance to be C. evelynae, but C100 is also very close, do you have any other images, preferably with the fish over a sandy substrate, this would make then sit and act more naturally, it will also help then show their true colour patterns.
