    "All Corydoras" represents another edition of the very successful and unique series of multi-colored volumes by Aqualog. "All Corydoras" is indeed a promising title - a promise that is shure to be kept. For the first time ever, all known Plated Catfish species are presented in photographs, as well as all varieties, like mutation, hybrids, breeds and up to now unknown species (the so called C-numbers).

    Taken into consideration are the genera Aspidoras, Brochis, Corydoras, Callichthys, Dianema and Hoplosternum.

    The outcome of this ambitious venture is a 140 pages volume with over 650 wonderful shots from well known photographers.

    Species, which are not known alive until now, are portrayed in black-and-white drawings; even species, which have never been published, are illustrated by "phantom pictures" based on the scientific original description, So, if ever one of these fish should end up in your tanks, you can - at least theoretically - classify it.

    The clearly arranged symbol-informations accompanying each of the 650 photographs give a good overview of the origin, care instructionand other characteristics of each featured species.

    In parallel with these booklets there are wall posters on which the fish can be appreciated at a glance.
