You've got quite a collection going now. How about some orange lasers (Cw010) next?

 

[CKutz]

haha i was going to say orange lasers also..i think i saw them once on here and that was the only time i ever saw them.

 

[Inchworm]

They're not really what you would call rare, but you don't see them in the lfs very often. They are very bright and beautiful. A green variation is sometimes found too, Cw009.

I have never seen those cory's before..but i'm limited to one good LFS within an hour drive..other than that its petsmart..

I see your in the US inchworm...is it just my area, or does the US really tend to not have as many imported fish? it seems like all these people in the UK have so much access to such a variety of fish.

the orange and green lasers look more ideas welcome ---- got a 240 litre tank and need corys to go in it lol

Ask Maidenhead aquatics our local store have orange lasers but they are not cheap!

It's more a matter of being in the right place, at the right time, to get many of the fish. There are three "good" lfs near me (two are sections of more general pet shops) and sometimes I get lucky. I've talked to the owner of the one that is strictly fish and he tries to get different varieties in during the season. However, he's told me that he just can't sell the more unusual and expensive ones. Sometimes I get lucky and find ones that are mislabeled like the ones on this thread:

BTW, we do have AquaBid, and it's the place to go in the US to buy unusual corys. There are a number of very reliable breeders and sellers who can be found there regularly. Coryologist is one of the best.

Not particularly rare but easily my favourite Corydaoras species - Corydoras schwartzi

they are nice i agree and i will more than likely get some

Another very nice cory is the C. weitzmani. Just a few years ago they were thought to be extinct, but are now being raised in captivity. The ones I bought in 2005 are still doing well.

I've recently obtained 5 C. CW009 and 5 C. erhardti, and I would reccomend either to you.
