Post by balous »

I need some help in identify my new Corydoras.
They have been signed as Corydoras punctatus.

They are wild caught with a size of app. 6 to 6,5 cm.
Bought them all for a really good price :-)
Now I try to find out what they are.
The pictures are may not so good (handycam).
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

it's quite difficult to say what they are but I'm rather sure that they are not C. delphax.
C. agassizii is certainly closer but again I have some doubts. The snout is very peculiar.

I tend more towards C. ambiacus without being sure. Could be something undescribed.

Cheers,

Hi.
Mr. Schläger (my local fishdealer) will try to get some information about where my Corydoras come from.
I am happy because he has 15 more of these unknown Corydoras. LOL. They are all mine. Will take them home next week. A group of 25 Corydoras. Great.
Will order a special tank for them. 160X70(80)X40cm.
