The only one i can think is Corydoras sp. "black venezuela" thought to be Corydoras aeneus

Thanks, we went to a LFS near the OH's parents and they had black cories in, just labelled as 'black cories' just wanted to see if there was more than one strain that were black.

I like corys but no expert in this field.

 

[Maximus]

Don't get me wrong, I'm useless with corys!

Yes they are stunning, did you happen to see them on a thread on planetcatfish?

If so, look who's fish they are...

 

[helterskelter]

planetcatfish is the best when it comes to this sort of thing

The one i saw Franks and then Ian's fish.

 

[Maximus]

Yes, I was talking about frank, great fish

 

[helterskelter]

"The Blacks" are C. schultzii and were developed by a breeder. There is also a variety of wild Cory that is the Venezuelan that was mentioned. It may be C. aeneus.

I have 5 of Frank's Blacks. They are stunning.

I understand that Sp00ky has had them for sale, also. Alex and Carmen have some from him.
