First one is CW28. White dorsal finspine rules out C. schwartzi.

Second one is not CW9 "Green laser" but C. melanotaenia.

Looking Good

Agreed! ...although closer shots would be good.

Ah, perhaps I read too fast...I read "ressurrected" instead of "rediscovered"...been a long day at work

Looks interesting HH!

Reading

...is this CW24?

Well done Adrian!!

Fingers crossed for hatching and raising them. We await good news

So sad Here, on the European continent they are almost impossible to get, and there they are regarded as pests :roll: They have some at Pier (or did a few weeks ago, at least - and given the number of them, I doubt that they are gone). -- Mats I would love to have taken some home, but they would ta...

In the sense that they show up from time to time they're not rare, but they're definately not something you see every day. I would expect a shop-price in the range of what you've paid. I bought mine straight from the wholesaler.

Good luck at breeding

They all seem to be C. copei.

Easy to breed...hmm...I can't recall having heard of this species being bred, but then again; I don't know that many people who keeps them. I have a group myself, but haven't really tried yet...

Me thinks you have C. copei

Relatively common contaminat in C. trilineatus shipments...

Flubenol will deal with it I'm shure.

Hej Jan

Welcome to PC! You'll find lots of info here.

...BTW I have fry from the yellow top sword endlers

Well...C. arcuatus are not easy at all...seems as if most spawnings has been accidental!

But the "aenesutype" you have should respond to your treatment I think.

I see they are like the original posters fish, Ian...and a bit different from my cf. rochai. Adrian has some of my cf. rochai BTW...maybe he has something to say for comparison as I also think he has C118?

...but what are my C118 then?

Well, I'd say it looks a lot like what Ian and I agreed would be close to A. rochai ...picture attatched.

The fish I have as C118 from Eric Bodrock is quite different, bad picture attatched.

I have used maize (the hard animal-food corn) for carpfishing and they don't seem to be able to digest it. Corn (peoples food) seems to bo a little better, but still a lot of it just runs straight through. Kim You do soak and then cook the maize before use dont you? If not you should as the maize w...

I've done it with Corydoras for the same purpose. The grow back fast, so I would think it would be the same with Synos.

Definately B. multiradiatus

Deformed C. venezuelanus, I'm shure.

Definately CW08

Anyway, they are fantastic and beatiful fish! I hope my 4 will grow til breedable size soon... -kim They are incredibly easy to spawn. They generally lay their eggs in the outlet tube of a sponge-filter, on the water return lip of a power filter or in each corner of the tank, above the water line. ...

The opinion on this fish in Europe is that it is not A. albater but a new species. This species has been DNA-sequenced, and it will be nice to see how it fall in between the other Aspidoras that has been looked at...I guess we will know around Convention time ;) Anyway, they are fantastic and beatif...

Plane ticket is bought, so the hotel booking will happen tomorrow I think

Thought it looked a bit like a C. arcuatus with a longer head, hadn't noticed the arch...would have loved a colour photo!

Apart form this; what are the chances of this species already being in the hobby?

Haven't seen the PFK, but if you read german, Amazonas magazine is by far superior to anything I've seen.

Nice video

It's fun and interesting to see C115 biotope as I keep and breed that species. The one in the end of the vidio would be CW40 possibly!

But where is the weitzmani? I could not find that?

-kim

These come as C. elegans from Manaus, Brazil but clearly they are something else. I keep and breed them and have given some to Erik Schiller in Germany who recently published an article on them where he calls them Corydoras sp. leopard due to the nice colouration of the fry.

It looks like what we here in Denmark though of as a loxozonus variety until Hans Evers came visiting and said they could be an undescribed species.

Very nice fish!

Nice fish Onur

I like the natural-looking tank!
