Peruvian sanchesi

This is on a dealer's list:

"Cory. Sanchesi rare River Napo - Peru"

C. sanchesi is, I believe, from Surinam. So what is the fish being offered by the dealer likely to be?

Definitely not from Peru, just a mere 2000 km to the east and up a bit

Without a picture it is impossible to tell.

Okay Ian thanks. I've mailed the dealer to ask for a picture or a description.

Just saw an importers list with the common name corydoras San Juan attached to C. sanchezi Does it help any or does it cloud the water even more

Actually I was talking to somebody last night who had bought some "Peruvian sanchesi" at an auction last month and he thinks they are an elegans type fish.

There was an earlier discussion about Corydoras Sp. San Juan, and IIRC, it turned out to be an elegans type too... so I guess both our lists are referring to the same fish.
