Bought at Auction as Leopard Cory. Not even close

[DJ-don]

Hey guys
I recently got a group of five "leopard Corydoras" at a Canberra Aquarium society christmas meeting got them for $40 so either way that's agood buy no matter what species it is
checked up on the Cat-elog and defintley not a cory. leopardardus or w/e.

Here are some pictures of the corydoras (sorry if they are tad blurry. my good camera is dead atm)



What do you guys think??
Here's a quick list I thought could be the candidates (was a quick pic and if i may have chose one completley wrong one or may have missed one, i am sorry in advanced)

Corydoras bicolor

Corydoras atropersonatus

Corydoras brevirostris

Corydoras crimmeni

Corydoras leucomelas

Corydoras melanistius

Thanks in advanced guys,
DJ

Given the size and shape of the dorsal blotch and the spotting, I'd call this

Corydoras leucomelas

.

Definitely C. leucomelas.

How many did you get? For $40 you could have bought nearly 6000 of them in Colombia!

Need a big tank mind ;)

And packaging, certificates, import licenses, and such things would add how much to the price? Assuming you don't end up in prison for it...

hey guys
just wondering, the cat-elog says they havent been bred in captivity yet,
is this true or just not updated or something??

[Jools]

I'm not aware of it being bred.
