Cory "Super " Punctatus

Post by paul dixon »

Picked a group of these up from my LFS at Wigan Pier yesterday. They came from Brazil as Super Punctatus but as we know Punctatus are not Brazilians. They have been tagged as a new species, CW37, by Corydorasworld. They are in fact Brazilian from the State of Amazonas.They originate in the Rio Uruara affluent of the Rio Curua Una.
Lovely little fish in rude health.
