New species at Gan's Fish Farm

**benny** · 12th May 2004, 00:15

Hi guys,

Went to Gan's Fish Farm today as they had a shipment.

Saw this new Corydoras species..

Very limited in quantity and certainly not a small fish. Looking very healthy and fins are in very good condition. Besides this species, they also have Corydorsa loretoensis, Corydoras ambiacus, Corydoras atropersonatus, and.............

Corydoras sp. cf aeneus "peru gold stripe" or more commonly known here as Goldlines.

Also there are some very radiant look Red Pencil fish. Looks like the coral red, but the colors make me suspect if it's another species. Perhaps those familiar with this species can confirm if they are one and the same.

For those who missed the shipment of this rare fish last month, it's here again. But there's less than 30 pieces. I believe half of them were cleared already.

Also...

Catch this big fella before it's new owner takes it home!! It's about 2 feet long!

That's all folks!!

Cheers,

Ronnie,

It's very much alive and certainly kicking the hell out of us when we were trying to get a shot.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

Here's a better picture of the new corydoras at Gan's Fish Farm.

And here's a close up of the snout.

Hopefully I'll get some better pictures when the fish settles down. I believe there were 15 pieces left at Gan's Fish Farm as of today.

I'm still not sure which species this is. Anyone?

Cheers,

Hello Benny,

Long time no see, in any case, I do believe the new cory to be Corydoras punctatus. That's my initial guess but there's so many coming from the leopard group its really mind-boggling to actually know WHAT it is. I've pretty much left the cory scene with only 1/3 of what I used to have then. I still buy them once in awhile. If you say there's atro available then I'll be giving them a visit sometime soon. Oh yes, the new oto is doing very well in my tank. How's yours?

woah that gigantic sucker reminds me of those found in the big pond beside yishun safra... last time always use to see suckers of those size lurking there.
