This week´s news: corys of the Corydoras pulcher and Corydoras schwartzi relationship

Corydoras pulcher and Corydoras schwartzi belong to the most beautiful and also to
the most wanted Corys at all. Currently we have four of the five species of the group
in stock, so we take the opportunity to present them to you.

Corydoras pulcher

This cory originates from the system of the Rio Purus in Brazil. It becomes around 7
cm long. Usually the species has three stripes on the flanks. The central stripe runs
along the middle of the fish, exactly where the lateral dorsal and the lateral
ventral plates meet. During breeding season the males (and also the females, but not
so extensive) develop a wimple-like dorsal fin.

Code: 241705

Corydoras cf. pulcher

This cory is very similar to C. pulcher, but has usually only two stripes on the
flanks, one above and one below the middle of the fish. Moreover, it has a shorter
snout. However, there are also specimens that look pretty much like "normal" C.
pulcher, so it is still unknown whether this fish represents a variety of C. pulcher
or another species.

Code: 244503

Corydoras schwartzi

11/244503-corydoras-schwartzi.jpg> 

This good old fashioned, but still very beautiful cory originates from the system of
the Rio Purus in Brazil. In contrast to the other species mentioned here the dorsal
spine is only occasionally cream-white. The species belongs to the group of stout
Corydoras with round noses. It can be quite easily recognized by the black spot under
the dorsal fin. C. schwartzi becomes around 5 cm long.

Code: 244503

Corydoras sp. C141

One could term this beautiful cory also the long-nose schwartzi. Obviously the
species has not been described scientifically yet. It is not known from which river
the fish originates. Sometime C141 is confused with C. ornatus, but the latter has
never a cream-white dorsal spine. C141 attains a length of about 6 cm.

Code: 241724

Corydoras sp. CW28

 
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/2011/kw%2035%2020
11/244565-corydoras-sp-CW28.jpg> 


This gorgeous cory looks like an XXL-variety of C. schwartzi with the dorsal fin of a
C. pulcher. They are splendid animals which we were able now for the first time in a
very limited number. The size is about 6 cm.

Code: 244565

Lexicon: Corydoras: from ancient Greek, means „with helmet and spear“. This refers to
the strong armor and fin spines. pulcher: Latin, means "beautiful". schwartzi:
dedication name for the exporter Willy Schwartz.

Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
