plecs Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 impressive list of corys you have there! Will take me a while to search for their common names! Were did you get hold of so many different ones? plecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Woah, way more than i thought we had in nz! Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 impressive list of corys you have there! Will take me a while to search for their common names! Were did you get hold of so many different ones? Apart from the odd few that have aquired common names (Peppered etc).. then most of the Corys are called by their scientific name.

agoh Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 which is the prettiest cory of the list rob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I've edited the list to include the common names that I know. I've accumulated them over a number of years just through shops (the C.nanus was the only one that I got from a breeder - that was during a club trip - unfortunately the breeder had to leave the hobby due to poor health). The ones that I have a particular liking for are the Flagtail cory and also Sterba's cory a.k.a golden leopard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plecs Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 thats for that Rob. what a great selection you have! I really like the golden leopard too, those I think are the nicest. Also really like the panda and skunk. plecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_guy Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 thats an impressive range of corydoras do you breed any of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 There's also that cory with those gold side fins (forget the name) which otherwise looks like a sterbai cory. I think the prettiest are Aldolfoi corydoras but of course i'm biased as I have some. http://www.diszkosz.hu/0204pictures/cory_adolf_0136.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 In the past I've bred sterbai's, pygmies and bearded - all the others are still on the 'got to get around to try them' list. The one similar to sterbai is C.haraldschultzi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
