See

all stunning Hudson....cheers jk

Thanks bigbird!
Joost, I am not so sure, but you may be right.

Wow Hudson,

wonderful cats you have there, huh?
I'd love having that second one.. (the big mouth black one)
bu there is't anything like that on my area.. and no fish store would be interested in bringing it to me.

How cold is that river?
is it natural or a drainage?

Juliano

(By the way, vc fala português?)

Hi! nice fish first of all!

first one is (julii doesn't have the black line on the sides)

second one, i think it is or something closely related.

the rest of the Corydoras are probably

I don't dare to say anything about the Heptapteridae but i hope someone else does!

Hi,

both of the mentionned cory species are known to be very variable in colouration and I have never heard of the lines being a decisive characteristic for the identification or distinction of these two species. From pictures they are hard or impossible to tell apart.

If I am not mistaken the Rio Taruma is close to Manaus, right ?!

This should be too far in the west for C. julii.
On the other side the typical locations of C. trilineatus are even further in the west, in or close to Peru and Ecuador.

This could be a new variant of the trilineatus complex, a catching location of C. trilineatus or a new species. Who knows...

Cheers,

i would say that the cory in the first pic is a regards mike

Hi,

I don't think that this is C 120, the blotch in the dorsal does not seem to be right (too roundish).
Moreover, the origin of C 120 is Peru (Madre de Dios)...

Cheers,

2nd shot is hard to go by - it'd fit better in the riddle section batrochoglanis or cephalosilurus species, perhaps

isn't the golden, long-barbelled one a pim? or maybe http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... es_id=1813
