Questions About CORYDORAS EQUES !!!

Post by Callichthyidae »

Hello! Everyone Again :)
I am back again, and still have some questions about catfish that I have at home. I just bought 18 WILD CORYDARAS EQUES from my local fish store. It took me almost 2 weeks to wait for these guys before I buy them because I am not really sure they are REAL CORYDORAS EQUES or not. I've been checked all information from the internet and all my catfish guides at home, but I am still not sure about them. All my CORYDORAS EQUES are still young as juvenile, and they almost exactly look like Juvenile CORYDORAS AENEUS but they look darker. They also look like CORYDORAS VENEZUELANUS. Can anyone help me? It will greatly appreciated. I really want to know that I bought the REAL CORYDORAS EQUES or not. Thank you very much. :(
Oh! I will try to post my photos as soon as I can get a good photos of them. Thank you very much again :|

Best Regard;
Bunthid or Max :)

Eques are on the top of my wish list, so if you have got the real thing, I am green :-)

Thre is an excellent discussion on Corydorasworld and photos from Hans-Georg Evers and Ian Fuller on IDing Eques, authors if THE cory ID book.

Here is the thread
http://www.corydorasworld.com/forum/ide ... tification

You may have to pay a small membership to get access, but well worth it to identify your new fish and there is tons of cory info there.

Fingers crossed that you got what you paid for...

If you have the true C. eques then your fish should like this.
