Top Ten Corydoras
Top Ten Corydoras
Limited to the United Kingdom, what do you think are the top ten (or 20 if you like! ) most commonly available Corydoras in fish shops? It’s nice to pick all kinds of fish you like the look of from a book but many are unlikely to be available locally. TIA.

Re: Top Ten Corydoras
I've been in only a handful of UK shops, but this is what I recall:
In lineage order, then alphabetical, with commonly mistaken spp. paired, and may be offered as something else:

- (sold as almost everything, but commonly )
- (probably sold as ; if wild caught, may have mixed in)

Re: Top Ten Corydoras
I agree with your selection. In a personal note I would add the Corydoras Panda. But that’s just me and make it 11.
Regards.
I love my Corys!

Re: Top Ten Corydoras
Yes you're absolutely right in the USA. I don't recall seeing in the UK, but I'm confident it's common in the UK also.
Thanks!

Re: Top Ten Corydoras
I would assume C panda is in the top 10 in the Netherlands. You see them everywhere.
Further the dwarfs, C pygmaeus, are also very common here

Re: Top Ten Corydoras
Hi all,
I'd add and for the UK.
Corydoras panda breeds successfully in hard water so you often see hobbiest bred ones for sale in this area (Bath, Swindon, Bristol).
