C. similis is my favorite species, but I can't find it anywhere!

Congrats on your new corys!

thanks for all your replies.. as i was very excited to get these guys.. even if it was only 3 of each species.. had to jump at that chance to buy them as i am sure it would be some time before i saw them again.. and yes.. these were bought in saskatoon.. each species from a different lfs.

Nice photos Mad. Do you have male and female similis? I found them easy to spawn at 75 degrees and 6.5pH. I was averaging 75 eggs per spawn. Best of luck with the fish.

it looks like 1 female and two males with the similis and they look full grown at 2"+.. that is great that u got them spawning.. i too hope to do that down the road.. but right now i am sitting with 23 species of corys.. so i have to pick and choose which ones i want to work on at one time. i would definately like to hear more about your successes with spawning these corys corybreed.. maybe drop me an email or PM

and i would have to look closer with the orange lasers to see if i could sex them.. from a glance it looks similar ratio to the similis

How much did you pay for the orange lasers? I just added three to my existing 7 for $9 apiece from a lfs.

And how much were the Similis?

When we are able to order some in, it'd be good to know what to expect in terms of how much they cost.
