I'm loking for a relatively rare species of cory from the upper Rio Negro. I've done, for the most part, a Upper Rio Negro biotope in my tank and I would liek to keep it that way. As far as my water conditions I try to keep things around 27-28C with a pH of 6.2 and a KH around 3 degrees if that helps. Aside from a few Cardinals and a Clown Pleco, most of my fish don;t have a common name that I know of. Most have never been (at least intentionally) in a box store. Most are pretty unforgiving as to water conditions. So thats the type of fish I like to look for. Any help woudl be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Clayton

Clayton,
Let me suggest C. burgessi. It is an attractive sp. from the upper Negro and should not be impossible to find. Many of the upper Negro Corys look similar, basically having a light body with some black and a gold "saddle" over the head or having this same pattern with the addition of black markings on the body such as C. incolicama and C. parallelus.
