Hey guys
I recently got a group of five "leopard Corydoras" at a Canberra Aquarium society christmas meeting got them for $40 so either way that's agood buy no matter what species it is
checked up on the Cat-elog and defintley not a cory. leopardardus or w/e.
Here are some pictures of the corydoras (sorry if they are tad blurry. my good camera is dead atm)
What do you guys think??
Here's a quick list I thought could be the candidates (was a quick pic and if i may have chose one completley wrong one or may have missed one, i am sorry in advanced)
Thanks in advanced guys,
DJ

Given the size and shape of the dorsal blotch and the spotting, I'd call this
.

Need a big tank mind ;)
And packaging, certificates, import licenses, and such things would add how much to the price? Assuming you don't end up in prison for it...

That's a cheap buy in our neck of the woods. Nice pick up mate.
Motorcycles are not an expensive hobby, try keeping L-cats in Australia

hey guys
just wondering, the cat-elog says they havent been bred in captivity yet,
is this true or just not updated or something??
