Corydoras sp. "Gold laser"
?Corydoras sp. CW010 "Gold laser' pair.
Considered by science as a variation of Corydoras aeneus, but by many in the hobby, me included, as a distinct species in its own right. This is fast becoming one of the most popular of Corydoras species in the hobby and is in great demand at moment in time. It has a lot of things going for it, first of all its striking colour pattern. Corydoras melanotaenia Regan, 1912 is referred to as the Olive Corys but I am afraid this species with its brilliant golden stripe outshines it and more especially when they are in breeding condition.

Born in Birmingham in 1946.
A toolmaker by trade, and self confessed Corydoras nut by admission
I started keeping tropical fish in 1970 in a small 18 inch aquarium, it was not very long before I had two, four foots and two three foots set up in the spare room. Overthe first two or three years I kept and bred many of the popular fish groups. Starting with South American Cichlids, graduating through Barbs, Anabantids and Characins. Although I had kept several species of catfish during this period it wasn't until early in 1973 that I took an active interest in them. From when I bred my first species of Corydoras in 1974 I have been well and truly hooked.
My first fish house took shape in 1977 and was a sectioned off part of my garage, which housed 36 - 18 x 18 x 12 inch tanks. It was then that I started seriously breeding Corydoras a project which still continues to this day in what is now my third fish house.
