Aqualog Extra: Corydoras - All C-Numbers (English and German Edition)

Now, it is true that in the aquarium hobby it is not the scientific name of a species, but the live fish, that is the center of interest. However, it is sometimes necessary to be able to indicate what species we are talking about, and hence C-numbers were brought into being in the magazine DATZ (=Die Aquarien und Terrarienzeitschrift), for identifying Corydoradinae that have been imported but not yet identified.

The first C-numbers appeared in the DATZ of 12/1993. Since then a number of species have either been described as new species or identified as existing described species. The majority of C-numbers, however, remain just as difficult to classify as in the past. By the time the AQUALOG All Corydoras (ISBN 3931702138) was published in 1996, there was already C-numbers 1 to 46. In the meantime we have reached C132 and there is no end in sight. But we nevertheless feel it makes sense to publish this complete list of all the C-numbers to date, compiled in line with the most recent knowledge. With over 270 photos, a must for the Corydoras lovers.
