Mystery Corydoras

[Baccus]

I was hoping that somebody might be able to help me Id my little mysyery cory's. I have had them for approximately 3 years now and no matter how often I have looked I have never come across them again in any of my local pet shops etc. They are quite a bit smaller than the Peppered's but don't seem to mind hiding out in the school of bigger fish.
Anyway thanks and Good luck

Ps Seem to be having problems up loading pics, so I have got a link .....

Hope it works ">

For everyone that was as frustrated as I was at being unable to see the pictures they are now available in the view all link. Sorry and thanks again. Hope somebody knows what type they are.

I see Corydoras polystictus (many spotted cory) and Corydoras paleatus (peppered cory)

I would say Corydoras polystictus too.

Ok great

That is what I had originally hopefully Identified them as but soooo many sites online have conflicting names

even one of my local petshops had the wrong picture to the name

. So my next questions are ..... 1. Are they usually hard to track down? (especially in Regional QLD Australia)
and 2. Are they pretty much the same in regards to breeding requirements as the Peppered and Sterbi? Both of which I have had great success with. Or do these guys have some extra needed incentive? Aside from the obvious of only having 2 with hopes and plans of getting them some more now they are Identified, and if any of my local shops can manage to order and get the correct fish in.

I can't comment on how hard they will be to track down i'm afraid.

To breed all you will likely need to do is have good quality water, and do a cold water change. If you've bred cories before you shouldn't have any issues.
