I think it's just a combination that they are newer and bigger.

Re: arcuatus - super arcuatus
There were some HUGE ones at Amwell Aquatics a few weeks ago. Biggest Corys I've ever seen, probably around 4" TL and really chunky, similar to a decent size B multiradiatus. About £25 each I think.

Re: arcuatus - super arcuatus
Regular C. arcuatus is from the Loreto area in Peru and a large area reaching into Ecuador as well. According to Fuller & Evers, the Super Arcuatus comes from the Purus river, which is further south in the western part of Brazil. I will add this to the occurrence data for Super Arcuatus.

Thanks!
Big corydoras are very impressive.
But the prices is little to high yet.

Re: arcuatus - super arcuatus
The much larger similar looking species known as 'Super arcuatus' have the CW- number CW036 and have been reported as growing in excess of 16 cm SL. However as far as I am aware no specimens of these proportions have entered the aquarium hobby.
