Where to find Wild Corydoras Paleatus?

Post by Rowdy Hotel »

Been searching for these in the USA for a few years now. Anyone have any idea where I could find them or from who?

AFAIK because they are bred en masse commercially, wild imports are few & far between. Some of the cory pros here might be able to point you in the right direction

C. paleatus are easy to find here but the wild fish blow the commercial strains out of the water in appearance. Hopefully a few more experienced keepers will chime in, I've lurked for a while but just recently joined partly because I want some help finding wild or tank raised wild strain.

Just realized I posted this in the wrong section. Should've gone in the wanted forum.

Have you checked Uncle Neds in Millis Ma by any chance? Ask him if he can get them. If he cant. I bet he could send you in the right direction.
