Hello everyone,

I'm really excited, I just got five new Cories. I got three 5cm. C. davidsandsi (mislabeled as C. melini), one 3cm. C. sterbai, and one 2.5cm. C. paleatus. I was planning on getting a group of Sterbai...but sadly out of the six they ordered four died and one was on death row so I only got one :(. They are all doing great now and fitting nicely in with the other Corydoras I have. I'll try to post pics soon!

Now I have: four C. aeneus, three C. trilineatus, three C. paleatus, three C. zyagtus, three C. davidsandsi, two C. schwartzi, one C. acrensis, and one C. sterbai.

Also, I'm wondering how common C. davidsandsi are?

You're putting together a nice collection of corys :)

I don't know how common davidsandsi are in the US/Canada, but here in Denmark they're not that common. As far as I know, we are only two people breeding them here, and I've only seen them in shops 3-4 times over the past 5 years. Strange really, because they are very easy to breed.

Your C. davidsandsi sure look like C. melini to me.
Edit: I seen I am wrong and you are correct. I was thinking of a resemlance with C. adolphi when I wrote the above.
