Interesting Corries

Post by Squidward »

Hi All,

I was at my lfs this morning and they had these interesting Corries.

The first they called Corydoras sp Green, and the second, Corydoras sp Bronze.
Though in these photos it is hard to tell which is which. But they are truly stunning.

The lfs told me they are wild caught in Venezuala.
Can anyone tell me anything about them.

Thanks
Squidward

Yup, MA St Albans.
Have you seen them?

My main concern is that the colour is somehow artificial. But I guess not!

Are you going to get some?
I am very tempted. £13 for the golds is semi reasonable. But £35 for the greens! Especially when you need to get a group!

My friend (CoryWally on here) breeds greens. I'm sure he could sort some out for you at much lower prices.

Like wise, regularly breed both the greens CW009 & the Golds CW010, but my prices are no where near that high. However, after seeing them on one of my wholesalers lists I can say that they are priced right according to standard retail mark up procedures.
