Grabbed a few of the Cory species yesterday from MinShen Dong E. Rd.(Taipei)
Pls review and let me know if I named them correctly. Not very sure on two of them especailly Cory rabauti & Cory bolivianus.
Got another Corydoras duplicareus. So I have total 5 pairs of Cory Species in my tank now excluding the pygamy not in the pic ....
One thing I noticed is that the same species pairs tends to swim together.

the zygatus and rabauti are very hard to tell apart
i go with rabauti too, though
if you can breed them it'll be a sure way to find out which of the two they are
the 'bolivianus' i can't confirm
bolivianus has fine dots on the head until the gill area, the one you have reminds me of sodalis, but it doesn't look right
*shrug*
clothahump?
I am pretty sure it is not Bolivianus, I will keep looking on that one.
I would asy the other mystery is Rabauti.
I contacted Ian Fuller and here is his reply.
Hi Tim,
Firstly there ain't no such sp as C. bolivianus anymore its C. geryi and the
picture is C. sodalis

Hi all! I have a 4ft tank with about 40% foreground plants. Would like to introduce some corydoras.
Can advice which species & where's the best place to get?
Will they dig out the roots?
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Szesteve, it depend on your preference. There is a lot of corydoras species out there. Some are common while some are rare n hard 2 find in SG. There are a few species that look alike but u need a good eyesight 2 tell the difference between the species. Try this webby for more info on them. http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~yamyam/index-e.html. Take your time 2 look through the selection available. Hope this helps.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
