that is what is so strange. This guy is a very experienced hobbyist as well as running a commerical operation. The tank is full of healthy looking sterbai swimming around and spawning in his tanks. Some things just don't make sense I guess.

C. sterbai death, have you even see this?
I have been searching for a couple of C. sterbai to go with my 4 adult females and not having much luck. A friend of mine in North Dakota has them and agreed to provide me with a male. I drive there for a visit and prior to leaving he nets out a adult sterbai mail from his tank. The tank has very ...

C16 would normally have the banding on the dorsal ridge extending into the caudal fins. These does not seem to be the case for the specimens above. I would also go with Corydoras simulatus . However, I wouldn't be surprised to find a few C16 within the shipment. They seem to be found with Corydoras ...

Corydoras olgae pictures
well here are some very poor pictures of the fish that are presently in a LFS in Winnipeg. It was difficult to get a good pic. as they stayed to the back of the tank and the lighting was not very good. These fish have longer snouts and do look very much like a simulatus IMO.

Corydoras olgae
Corydoras under this trade name have now surfaced in Winnipeg. I have talked to the wholesaler and he said that the fish was wild caught near the town of olgae in Bolivia. As a previously undescribed species the importer simply gives them the name , in this case of the town nearest to where they ...
