If they are real C. bicolor they are a nice find

I guess the reason why there's no info is simply the fact that they are very rare and not many people have experience with them. But since you have them, you can supply PC with info when you learn aboth them from keeping them ;)

...& maybe a few pictures so we can all enjoy them?

I'd love to see them.

I just got my WILD group of Corydoras Bicolor 3 days ago, and I really love them so much.

Hi Max,

Did you find them locally? I haven't seen any.

Dave

Oh! Mr. Dave. Where did you find Corydoras Ourastigma?

Max, I don't have any!!

Tell you what Max, you donate $20 to the site and I'll do as much research as I can to pull together all the data I've got and put it on the species page.

Jools,

I did not realise that you did not have this species covered. I have Hans's original book images, which I am sure he will OK to use.

Don't you have to add a species entry first - or have I missed some new feature?

Should this thread be moved to the bugs section?

No, I was being dense and didn't realise there wasn't a species entry. Shane and I discussed me giving him the ability to add a species, and I wouldn't have a problem handing it out to you too Mats, but then I think we do not need to add species very often?

Well, I guess adding species and species data would help fill in some gaps - but as we have discussed before, with no photo, it is of low value to just add new species.

Indeed (although where there is a genus with just a couple of species we don't have pictures of then it's quite nice to "complete the set" - but overall I agree) and also I will be asking for help elsewhere on adding content to the site that is more pressing.

Thanks Mats (and also Marc and Ian) for submitting the data.
