Hello,

I'm looking for a Corydoras from Rio Tapajos (or it's tributary). A long noze would be better .
C135 seem to be a good option, but I can't find informations about it's biotiope...

Is there somebody who got's some informations about this Corydoras?

Thank's a lot!

The only other Cory from Tapajos that we have listed in the Cat-eLog is C. ornatus

Here's a search for Corydoras from Tapajos and tributaries.

Cathy,

As you are also a member at Corydoras world the search facility there also has the same function. Type in the river name and it will bring up all the species recorded from it.

Hi,

@ Mats : I saw that C.ornatus comes from Tapajos. But it's not a "long noze". Very nice cory, but I'm now looking for a long noze.

@ Ian : corydorasworld is a mine of information. I have not introduce myself yet. My poor english first and my experience witch is very short comparing to other contributors. I did not explore the wole site...
Thank you for the link!. I'll check it ASAP.

And about C135? Is it an exported fish or should I look for an other cadidate now ?

Tanks a lot!

Cathy, you shouldn't worry about your english it's very good.

Cathy,

C135 comes from the Amapa region of Brazil, http://www.v-brazil.com/tourism/amapa/map-amapa.html which is situated north of the mouth of the Amazon. the Rio tapajos is a southern tributary of the Amazon, and forms part of the Western border of the state of Para.

Ooops...
I was on CP list for Tapajos Corydoras...
However, on your list, 3 corys may interessed me.

- C. cochui / C144 (I also have C. hastatus, C. habrosus and C. pygmaeus)

- C. gracilis, very beautiful.

- C086, exactly what I am looking for.

sorry for the mistake

No problem.

C. cochui and C144 are extremely rare in the hobby. They are very small fishes and collectors favour catching the larger more expensive species so the little ones are ignored. It is only when Hobbyists go to collect that we see these fishes.

How small are these cory? I can see why you find them interesting!
Marge

Both C. cochui and C sp C144 reach a staggering 32 mm SL. for adult females, males are even smaller.
