Hello, I definitely saw a C.elegans in C328, it's in the tanks to your left when you walk in. It's rather large.
Simon, was looking at your 2 pictures.
The top one looks like C. Elegans, the bottom one C. Napoensis.
I'm refering to my ABC book - Colored Atlas of Miniature CATFISH, by Dr Warren E Burgess.
Hey, one day all cory people should sit down together with our pictures and books, and talk CORY...! What do you think? There're so many similar ones that we're getting confused. (Too bad my book doesn't have anything called C. Similis. And by the way, my 6 are doing pretty well, colours are in, active but still crossing my fingers and keeping sharp eye on them!)
Wait a second... have you seen the picture of C. Polystictus? Hmm... Quote: ...is spotted, particularly anteriorly, with unmarked fins. Most of the other spotted species have at least a mask or banded caudal fin.
Someone was asking about Bandits - C. Metae.
And I also relised many weeks after I got my C. Julii from QianHu, that they looked more like C. Trilineatus. Quote: For a long time another species of Corydoras, C. Trilineatus, went under this name. According to Nijssen the true C. Julii is rarely imported. C. Julii is often confused with C. Trilineatus, which has a reticulated head pattern. In C. Julii the head is spotted. Besides, Julii is smaller and more compact.
But I must say that I recently saw what looked very like C. Julii in Pasir Ris Farmway and also in Tiong Bahru...
One last thing for C. Adolfoi lovers (me included). Watch out for C. Imitator, a long-snouted form of C. Adolfoi...
Cory all the way!
P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!
FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

----------------this is id by planetcatfish as C. napoensis
coryfav, Gan has C. julii (confirm)
I oso saw a long-snouted species at the bigger shop in tiong bahru (cant remember how it looks)
imitator is a highly prized long nosed version of adolfoi because it is so very rare
julii are very distinct from trilineatus once you know what to look for
look at the head
also in the same family are reticulatus, leopardus and a few more i can't remember
leopardus is even less often seen in the hobby
h20 had polystictus long time back along with the guapore
very gian at that time, but ex, and no $$
gan has metae, melini, julii and sodalis at the moment
saw some new corydoras from tiong bahru market(the bigger one)
maybe it can interest u guys..
i try to identify them for u..
DEA, are they wild caught; gan's? what much do they cost?----------------

----------------] Heh, I think one day sterbais will be as weak as pandas, considering the mass production of them. better buy lots of them and keep now. Pandas used to be much better last time.
This tread is getting really long [
thankfully i got mine early
you know the problem with having fish in your tank?
you can't tell how big they really are
i buy cories from gan, thinking they're quite big
ends up my sterbai are bigger
