Ken!

It was the first time I've seen a shipment of C. imitator :!:

Keep an eye out for them.

It's one of the fun things about the hobby!

I once had 10 wild caught Corydoras C121 and lost them. They had spawned a few times but not in favorable water conditions so all their eggs fungused. I wish they were more frequently imported. I've only seen them available the one time i bought my ill fated group.

Thank you so much, Mr. Dave :)

I got 20 Corydoras Imitator a week ago, and some Corydoras Imitator look so different. So, I am planning to post my question in here about Corydoras Imitator as well, but you already did the answer. Thank you very much, but I will have to ask some questions again for my new group of Corydoras Imitator soon because they look so different in some of them, so I am not sure what they are. You could help me or someone else. :?:

Thank you again, and talk to you later. :D
