do you think is regular (usual) this pattern in Corydoras haraldschultzi? may be some are not haraldschultzi?

I think some of them look a bit weird...













thanks in advance for your opinions

Without knowing the area they were collected from it is difficult, but the recently described C. noelkempffi from the Rio Itenez system in Bolivia, seems to fit the bill.

Is possible, I thought on it... they came with a shipment with other Corydoras from the border Brazil-Bolivia area (Mamoré-Guaporé-Itenez) C. seussi, guapore, caudimaculatus, sterbai, leucomelas, leopardus, while C. haraldschultzi comes from central Brazil... but I have read about occurrences in upper Guaporé

What jumble me is that some individuals in the group (as the one in the first pic) looks as a normal haraldschultzi

Another chance is Corydoras araguaiensis. Why did you discard this?

C. araguaiaensis has a short snout and does not have the the same body markings.

Thanks, Ian.


Then, your opinion is C. noelkempffi? also for the first pic individual?

Yutaka Yamamoto has in his web a "long-nosed" version of C. araguaiaensis, but, as you says, the pattern is different...
