Well, there you go. Might be the only species available to you, though. The others seem pretty rare.

how about these?

Post by general-sherman »

these are some of the more common ones here: *some of them may not be common, or even here for that matter, i'm trying to remember what i've frequently seen in the shops*
c. aeneus
c. davidsandsi
c. delphax
c. haraldschultzi
c. hastatus
c. julii
c. paleatus
c. panda
c. schultzi
c. schwartzi
c. sterbai

that all of them i think. i have seen c. adolfoi here, i'm unsure whether they're as common as those listed above...

Corydoras davidsandsi is also a blackwater Corydoras. I think the rest are not.

maybe i should maintain this tank at clearwater conditions? might be easier, especially as far as fish choice goes in australia.
