Breeding Corydoras cf. bifasciatus (C 133).

This is a quite unique Cory that attracted my interest when I read the Story about Corydoras ornatus, which was discovered in the 70's, but was never imported into the hobby until 2005. The few Corydoras ornatus that were caught were all sold to Japan for very high prices. The very similar undescribed short-nose species was coded C133 and may be similar to Corydoras bifasciatus, which was originally described from the same area. Pictures of preserved Corydoras bifasciatus look very similar to C 133. The trade offered them as 'Ornatus short nose'. For the whole story refer to Graf (2007).

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.
