They must be making the rounds at LFS now. I picked up some a couple of weeks ago. Little fatties and stunning colors!

Cheers, Eric

And now they're spawning! :-) :-) :-BD

Their first spawn was 14 July. I had to leave town from 16 July to 19 July. I don't know what they did while I was gone, but there were fresh eggs on the glass the day I returned, and new eggs have appeared every day since then. :-) \:d/

These little venezuelanus are crazy! In this tank they have laid eggs every day (maybe one day was skipped) since 19 July! As of today, that's essentially 29 straight days of egg laying :-O , and they're still going! \:d/

Cheers, Eric

This video is from two days ago (Direct link to YouTube video): Corydoras venezuelanus laying eggs



And the oldest fry (from my first spawn) already look like their parents! :-)
