Hey guys
I recently got a group of five "leopard Corydoras" at a Canberra Aquarium society christmas meeting got them for $40 so either way that's agood buy no matter what species it is
checked up on the Cat-elog and defintley not a cory. leopardardus or w/e.
Here are some pictures of the corydoras (sorry if they are tad blurry. my good camera is dead atm)
What do you guys think??
Here's a quick list I thought could be the candidates (was a quick pic and if i may have chose one completley wrong one or may have missed one, i am sorry in advanced)
Thanks in advanced guys,
DJ

Given the size and shape of the dorsal blotch and the spotting, I'd call this

And packaging, certificates, import licenses, and such things would add how much to the price? Assuming you don't end up in prison for it...

That's a cheap buy in our neck of the woods. Nice pick up mate.
Motorcycles are not an expensive hobby, try keeping L-cats in Australia
