Corydoras parallelus
Breeding Corydoras parallelus Burgess, 1993 by Johannes Graf
The first time I saw this Cory was in Werner Seuss´ Book "Corydoras? Seuss, 1993). This clear stripe pattern and the golden spot in the neck were looking very attractive. But this species seemed to be unavailable. C. parallelus has been known since the mid1980's, but is caught only very occasionally from the upper Rio Negro (the exact location is unknown). Most of them are usually exported to Japan (Evers 2005).

Born 1964, the fish passion started at the age of 10 when I obtained my first Aquarium from my Grandfather. After the usual beginner times the first focus was onDwarf Cichlids. For the last 10 years I have been keeping and breeding a wide variety of Rainbow fishes from Australia and New Guinea. They are accompanied by more than 20 Corydoras species which are ideal tank companions. Keeping and breeding Corydoras therefore became a equal part in my hobby.
