Cory ID - Colombian caught

[cjerrom]

Here's another Cory for some ID - sold as a CW78 but definitely not these! About 1.5" with a high back and not shy at all. I got a group of 10 from Colombia with the collection site being close to Leticia like always.

Let me know your thoughts please.

Hello Curtis,

hmm, this ones looks like CW101 from Rio Tapajos.
Perhaps there was indeed one shipmenmt from Rio Tapajos to Laetitia and your C. bifasciatus is perhaps the real one ?!

Did these corys had any trade name ?!
I've seen them labeled also as C. sp. "Luiza semilong nose".

Cheers,

What is CW101? I searched for it using the species search and nothing came up.
Thanks, Eric

Hi,

CW numbers are issued by Ian Fuller at CorydorasWorld but you need to become a member to get access to it.
However, you can also find some infos here:
CW101

Thank you. Yes I knew the source of the CW numbers, but I simply meant that CW101 in particular is not presented here on PC.

Cheers, Eric

Like my faux reynoldsi -these guys were shipped as specials!! I like to pick up a few from him as he knows I will pay for the oddities!! My pleco lists are quite the same with 236, 174,173,46- by the 100's and the odd LDA105 over 12".
Just treat my exporters nicely with maple syrup and the regular emails of Amazonas and voila! Happy days on my end!
What is considered a rare cory and I will ask and see if I can get it - I also have these guys coming shortly - 25pcs with these bifasciatus greens

I saw the link and you are correct - CW101 but I now have something a little different than the CW101 coming in.
It has a smaller yellow band and more green in the cheeks vs these so I am waiting on some pics and will post shortly. Plus they are much larger.
