Finally I got the real thing!

I've been looking for c. narcissus for a few years. Twice I've ordered the species, and twice I got something else (CW-36 and CW-06). Two days ago I could finally pick up some REAL c. narcissus. They are now i quarantine, and will be for a few weeks, before I move them to a bigger tank. Here they are, my new cories I've been trying to get for so long:

Thank you all. I love them to bits already. I have great love for the larger cory species and for the species with long noses, so these are great to have. :mrgreen:

I bought them from a shop here in Norway. It's called Aquamanias. He imports fish from South America, he is very service minded, and he has low prices. It's my favorite shop. I've bought many of my cory species through him.

I have always liked Corydoras melini.
I only had one group about 15 years ago. I still lived in Seattle, WA then and it took about a year of picking up one or two here and there at many fish shops over that time.
I never got around to trying to breed them.
I like their understated beauty.

Yann,
You are right. I think I thought I responding to a different thread and posted my comments in the wrong place.
