    Hi guys,

    Was at C328 last night and saw the following:

    01. Corydoras weitzmani - Just arrived
    02. Corydoras atropersonatus - Just arrived
    03. Corydoras robustus
    04. Corydoras narcissus - 1 piece left

    And many others too. Looks like the Corydoras atropersonatus and weitzmani will be make their presence in other shops these few days. Watch for them.

    Also, larged sized (9 to 11 inch) L095 seems to be making their way into the shops as two suppliers both had shipment in at the same time. Prices will be attractive as compared to the S$3XX range a few months ago.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    the "peru gold stripe" look quite small compared to the previous lots.
    is anyone breeding these guys?
    or are they all wild imports sorted by size/timing during collecting season?

    yup their L95s are quite huge. they looked so pitiful in the small tanks. glad that they have been transferred out. they are supposed to be the one of the most graceful, active and peaceful plecos around. fell in love with them instantly when i saw them feed in mid-water column, unlike other plecos.

    are you talking about their L27Cs? don't think the goldlines are aquarium bred, so should be from the wild. those at 328 are not the smallest, think many from NKS are even smaller, but should have been wiped out by buyers long ago already. this batch of goldlines are less vibrant in colouration as compared to the previous L27C Thunder batch, but still gold enough when they flare. however, their royal humps are definitely much bigger. i know of a local guy who is setting up a goldline breeding tank though, but so far i have not heard any news of breeders spawning goldlines. would be very interesting if someone succeeds.

    i was referring to Corydoras sp. cf. aeneus "peru gold stripe" aka goldline.
    the gold stripe is really eye-catching.
    i can just imagine a "herd" of them "grazing" on the aquarium floor.
    only thing stopping me is the tank space and seasonal avialability.
    which was why i asked if the stock we get are being bred or wild caught.

    oh i see... i like those as well, striking colour. i'm not sure if they're will caught or home bred, but their supply does seem pretty constant to me, however the quantity of each shipment isn't very big either?

    Has anyone seen the green variant? I have seen the orange version before at the last Aquarama and was told there was a red variant too by the stingray aquarium.
