wazza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Michael,In Australia we have quite a few (well not really seeing that there are over 160 species), the following list is what are available in Australia, (im bound to miss a few so add to the list if you like):C. aeneus (Bronze Cory)C. paleatus (Pepper Cory)C. panda (Panda Cory)C. metae (Bandit Cory)C. sodalis (not readily available but i have some)C. sterbai (Sterba's Cory)C. axeldrodi C. leopardusC. davidsandsiC. saunjuanC. adolfoiC. schawtziC. pygmaeC. hastatusC. habrosusC. juliiC.trilineatus (some people say that these are the same as C. julii, i disagree)C. haraldshultzi C. barbatus (rare, get stressed out in temperatures above 26C, and are hard to breed but other wise are a stunning fish)HTH wazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E4G13M4N Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 C axelrodi-deckeri Is this a pure strain or aquarium strain as i havnt been able to find much info about them, and that includes AI that sells them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Id say that every year or every couple of year a couple of new species slip through seeing as so many look so similar. Although relatively new corydoras keepers like me often find it difficult to tell the difference of different species.wazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
