    A bigger hole if you're planning to buy a few pieces.

    You may be hard pressed to find them. May I kindly suggest a couple of things though? Considering the way you asked about this fish, I would assume that you are new to Corydoras.

    C. weitzmani is very rare and expensive (many times more expensive than the average wild Corydoras). I have only heard of two shipments of them in the past few years. As such, it may be a challenge to keep them if there is a lack of understanding for their requirements and having little experience with Corydoras in general.

    I would like to encourage you to read through any literature on Corydoras in general, including the Catfishes sub-forum in AQ. Different species may have specific requirements, so it would be good if you could read up on them first. There are many other more affordable Corydoras waiting for you to discover.

    Cheers.

    You are still fairly "new", if you don't know this one.

    Yeah, well, the first part of getting to know your fishes is to know their names.
    That's the least you should know though..

    Anyway, be patient about getting the C. weitzmani (It's not cheap!).
    You can try other 'not-so-common' cory species first to gain experience.
    Ultimately, the important thing is to read up.
