hi guys,

finally my cory weitzmanis arrived today, they we're supposed to come before 12 but they didnt arrive until 4.30 :? and sadly one of them died :x but the other 5 are lovley little fish so hopefully once iv fed them up they will get down and start bumping fins! terry at wholesale tropicals is hopefully expecting another batch if he can get them in 3 weeks time so he's going to send me up another 1. if anyones interested i can post a few piccies up once they settle in?

cheers.

Checked them out on planet catfish, lovely looking cories. I don't know why they have become available sooner as they were first described in the 70's :?

Because!

Hi They were not available because they were originally described as being from Cuzco in the highlands of Peru .
They are in fact from near the Bolivian Border in Puerto Moldonado.
This area has only recently been looked at for ornamental fishes .
This is a really nice fish and coming a little cheaper ..
It will never be a £3 corydoras though because of the internal flights that are involved to get them to Exporters ..
£18 now ..They are easy to breed though .
