Is this a common C. paleatus? These look longer bodied than the C. paleatus I have spawned before.

They look like Corydoras paleatus. Maybe a wild form?

I actual fact these are a new species that are presently under description, in fact I expect the paper to be published shortly.

They are a species from Argentina and require cool temperatures, maximum around 18ºC

Thanks Ian. I'll have to find a cooler place as most of my basement is around 24ºC.

Do you have any web references on these?

Is that the same fish which used to be known as Corydoras paleatus "Highfin"?
I.e., this one: http://www.planetcatfish.com/images/ful ... tus/13.jpg
