Corydoras atropersonatus
Corydoras atropersonatus
This species of Corydoras has always seemed one of the most attractive to me; clear white with fine black dots. Not strange it has the popular name 'Fairy cory'. Corydoras atropersonatus is found in Equador and northern Peru (Rio Nanay, Rio Tigre and Rio Canambo amongst others). These fish grow to around 5 cm. and they vary quite a bit when it somes to the number and size of the black spots.

I live in Holstebro, Denmark. I was born in 1979 and have been a 'fish nut' for as far as I remember. Since 2002, Corydoras and Co. has been the favourites with C. pygmaeus and C. panda being the first breeding successes. At present (2007) I keep 30+ species and are breeding about half of them regularly. Other than the Corys, I have a growing interest in keeping and breeding smaller Barbs and Rasboras.
I also spend quite some time with my fishing rods on the bank of various Danish stillwaters where especially the Pike is a fascinating prey.
