Sounds great, Mats, what is the plan oh master of the google maps?

Jools

I'd say it's T.trachycorystes as well based on looks(*).
The T. taeniatus look good and well fed; I've seen them in a much worse state. Does the one in the back have a small wound on the head?

(* odd thing is that none of the 4 described Trachycorystes species are known from Colombia....)

Where are they from?

Jools

Trachycorystes cratensis is from NE Brazil.

T. trachycorystes (which everything else is a synonym of) is wide ranging (Amazon, Orinoco, Guyanas). Presumably it occurs in the Colombian Amazon as well, so that would not be too surprising.

Silurus wrote:T. trachycorystes (which everything else is a synonym of)

Is this recent information, HH?
CoF (still?) lists T. obscurus (with the remark "if valid") and T. porosus (as species inquirenda).

I follow Ferraris (2007) as the most recent work, since Carl is a recognized expert on auchenipterids. He regards T. obscurus as a synonym of T. trachycorystes and T. porosus as species inquirenda in Auchenipteridae. The latter means that it may or may not be a Trachycorystes, so until someone solves the problem, it's easier to disregard it.

@ Neil

Cory Gracilis have been sought by a few people in threads on PC & i'm sure there would be interest in this species.

I will work something out over the weekend.

By the way, I think we need to split the plan of shop visits from the fishes currently in at Pier aquatics...

Col.

They are about £22 ish ... I have to order a minimum of 40pcs ..
I am off to the airport in about a couple of hours for a Peru shipment ):

So what are the black cats then

I`m also very interested in getting hold of some of the C. gracilis,have been looking around for them for a while now but have no luck.If you have any shipment of these coming in,keep us posted in this forum.I`m sure there will be a big interest in these cories.Thanks.

Hi, i'd still be interested in the gracilis though i'd maybe looking at only a trio.
I do understand your reluctance at that price.
Lets hope theres more interest.

Called into Pier today with some C.A.S friends. Some cracking fish at very good prices, with more to come next week. at £4.50 each!

Cheers Mr Dark one , Yep there are 3 more shipments this week ,
Glad you like the Asian corys ...or mini bagarius...
I got the pro forma for 1 today , very very interesting
Bad news for some I am getting a delivery on Friday Night .This has the new Panaquolus on.
I think you probably will end up visiting more than once
Well Southport is only about a 40 min drive ...

Neil, I have to say I'm very impressed with your timing and how you get the fish in. You serve the hobby very well.

Well, if I end up getting the L91's, I sure aren't going to keep them in my room for almost three days, so we have to arrange something to pick them up on Sat/Sunday...

Hi Matts , nobody bought any 91,s yet ...
I think you guys might have to come on saturday to get first dibs on a couple of items..
I know that a particular variety will be in high demand .
As I said I cant say what is coming until they are in .
I would have done the late opening but last time it was a flop .
I think apart from one delivery all is going to arrive...
Never mind.

Part of the C.A.S. raiding party on Saturday.

Awesome selection of fish as usual. I was particularly impressed with the Spatuloricaria adults, which must have been 12"SL, not including tail and filaments, plus babies of the same species for under a fiver! Some lovely Sturisoma (aureum and festivum), loads of hypans (mainly t/b and non-Brazillian - but some lovely big L333), L091's looked good! On the cory's, the orcesi had to take the biscuit, although some beautiful napoensis took a close second. I left with a species I've always wanted - Brochis multiradiatus, 5 great looking fish, which have settled nicely. Looking forward to checking out what else comes in later this week!!

Cheers,
Mark.

I was looking at the Schedule - I'd guess the best time is in the morning - Mike Hardman and Ingo in the arvo - I don't want to miss either, if I can avoid it. Of course, that may not agree with Neil's plans... ;)

Hi Guys,
I'm afraid i've cheated a bit and took a sneaky visit down to pier today.
Neil is really pulling the stops out for the convention,the range and quality of the fish he already has in is amazing and he also said he's still due some deliverys!
I left with a slightly lighter wallet than what i arrived with after getting a pair(thanks Neil) of sturisomatichthys leightoni,nannostomus mortenhaeleri,danio choprae and danio tinwini.
They've far too much to mention so i'll leave it all as a surprise for you on friday.
Col.

Hi No plan , just the timing as usual .I ordered some of these fishes in January
Most people who know their stuff will understand the difficulties in getting fish at this time of year.
Dont worry if you cant get there on Saturday there is loads of stuff to pick from sorry to throw the spanner in .
Is somebody going to give Ingo a ride over ?He likes to visit the shop
Hey Colin I will keep you in mind

What do you think?
And the gracilis ...

Look what arrived today

Nice reynoldsi longnose ..

Wow!,C.reynoldsi longnose.Never seen these before,how much are they? Sojapat.How many do you have in stock? They are indeed very nice.

Corydoras sp "Long nose reynoldsi" from Colombia, was issued with the number CW012 There is an even rarer long nosed species CW011 that mimics C. tukano. Very small specimens occasionally show up in batches of C. habrosus.

what kind of Panaqolus you get there? The "Esmeralda" or which other Species?
I havent read anything, but i think they are from Peru?
I visit the Convention together with Ingo, and I'm big Panaqolus enthusiast. So it would be very interesting for me to see this plecs
I hope that we find the time to visit your shop during the weekend

Andi

Wish I'd spotted this sooner - would have asked Mats (very nicely, obviously ) to pick some up for me whilst visiting this weekend!
Hey ho
