Re: Corydoras elegans type
Answering my own post 
Do you think they are bilineatus?

Re: Corydoras elegans type
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.

Re: Corydoras elegans type
I along with Erik Schiller, Carsten Goll, and Hans-Georg Evers discussed this fish at length while at a BSSW meeting in Hanover at the beginning of September.
I kept and bred this fish in the early 1980's and for a long time thought it to be C. pestai Holly, 1940, but because of the loss of Holly's original material it would be almost impossible to be certain it was one and the same species. After the discussion in Hanover it was decided that because of the uncertainty, this species would be better placed given the code number CW044

dave.h: Could you send your pictures to webmaster at planetcatfish dot com (perhaps cc to mats at planetcatfish), we could add this as a new species.

Re: Corydoras elegans type
Hi Mats- from Ian Fuller's response above, the data on the C. pestai page should probably be reassigned as CW044 as well? Ian identified my "elegans" as pestai two years ago, before reassigning it to a CW number. The pictures for pestai on the site came from Corydoras World.MatsP wrote:dave.h: Could you send your pictures to webmaster at planetcatfish dot com (perhaps cc to mats at planetcatfish), we could add this as a new species.

Re: Corydoras elegans type
Good point. Which makes it a Jools issue. I will post in "bugs" to alert Jools.Carp37 wrote:Hi Mats- from Ian Fuller's response above, the data on the C. pestai page should probably be reassigned as CW044 as well?
