Black corys

Post by KalandraJane on Thu Jan 06, 2011 11:13 pm

Has anyone seen black corys before? They had them in my LFS today, labelled as 'Black Venezuelan' corys but that's meaningless really, they were absolutely gorgeous - totally velvet black, you couldn't even see their eyes they were so black! I would have snapped them up had they not been £10.95 each for juveniles, I went without money and was already having a betta bought for me.

I just had to Google them and have a look see. Never had heard of them before, but thats not surprising!
Seems a little high for Corys but since they are rarer not a shock. Very sharp looking IMO!

There stunning little corys, One of my favourite looking corys but the cheapest i can find them is £20 each which has always put me off.

Theres Corydoras venezuelanus but they only have a black patch so i doubt it will have been then.

Most likely the black or of Corydoras schultzei

I would say they probably were the Schulzei, they looked even deeper black though, absolutely lovely.

They sound stunning. I think the colour of the can vary quite a bit depending on quality and remember it could just be the pics that make them look not as black they might be darker in person.
