Corydoras worthae ???

Post by sschind »

My wholesaler has a fish listed simply as cory worthae. I did a google search and came up with nothing at all. I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any ideas what it could be. They only want $1.50 each so I am thinking they probably aren't anything special but If they look nice I might go ahead and order some. Heck, for $1.50 I'll probably just order some anyway.

Thanks

Maybe C. wotroi, a synonym of


Also, ,
that looks somewhat like a cory.

My guess would be B. marthae.

That may be it. I don't think its the C.wotroi as he has C. brevirostris on the list as well.

Thanks.

Looking at the clogged pic, the B marthae looks quite similar to a Brachyrhamdia I used to have - for 6 years. It was always rather active compared to other Brachyrhamdia, even though I did not combine them with Corydoras

It never got bigger than ~8 cm - SL that is
