Updated ID info, site, and art for everyone interested in Corydoradinae Catfishes!

[AdoraBelle Dearheart]

Well regarded authority on Corydoras Catfish, Ian Fuller and Hans-George Evers have been working for years to update their previous edition of this book, a real labour of love for these fish and the hobby itself. Up to date with the very latest classifications that underwent huge changes recently!

CordorasWorld is going through a site update, so will also be a good time to join and become a member should you so desire!

Don't need to be a member of the CorydorasWorld site itself, can still use the shop and/or pre-order the book from 10th September onwards without being a member.

I'm shamelessly promoting the book now, because there will be a big discount for pre-orders on the book, and want to let my fish nut friends know!


Identifying Corydoradinae Catfishes book is now complete and scheduled for publishing on the 1st of November. The RRP will be £60.00 but as of the 10th September it will be available to pre-order at the discounted price of £53.00 plus shipping. This also coincides with the launch of the new upgraded Corydorasworld web site which will be launched on Monday 9th September. The new book is in the same A5 size hard back format as the original first edition, but contains 800 pages compared to the 384 of the original. It contains a massive amount of new information, not only from our own research and experience, but it also contains contributions from Dr Martin Taylor, Dr Luiz Tencatt and Dr. Eric Thomas & Erik Wictor. The species pages take on a completely new format and follow in lineage format L1 through L9 with the relevant coded (C & CW) species displayed in their relevant lineages.


There's also new artwork by Ian Fuller on the site, he happens to be a talented artist too, so when G.Pygmaeus became available, I couldn't resist getting a print! And a mug...

How could I resist those faces?? I'll add a photo of my new mug in front of my pygmy colony tank when they next co-operate for a photo session! I've been trying to lure them into frame, but the little fellas are fast!

Not just catfish either... I don't think I've seen this species before in my life, but just from the art I love them and want one now:

Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine reported that the entire Corydoras group of fish has undergone a massive revision in scientific names .
“ This is the largest shake-up in scientific names among aquarium fishes since Kullander’s revisions of the genus Cichlasoma in the early 1980s - changes that continue to be felt in the cichlid world to this day , and were slow to be adopted . Here at TFH , we are embracing the Cory cat shift , and you should see these strange new names in future publications . “

Yep! This revised edition is up to date with the revised names and reclassifications.

Yep! This revised edition is up to date with the revised names and reclassifications.

So get your mind tuned to Aspidoras , Gastrodermus , Hoplisoma , Brochis and Scleromystax . The fish formerly known as Corydoras sterbai is now called Hoplisoma sterbai .

The changes make sense, incredible sense. It's just a few new names to learn. People who live in places where names change when women marry should find it easy. I already had tanks of Aspidoras, Scleromystax and Brochis. It's just learning how they are now lined up.
