Look to the next issue of AMAZONAS to start the winter aquarium season with an exciting new portfolio of exceptional members of the Corydoras tribe—some of the best-liked and often a bit unusual fishes that are kept and bred by the magazine’s own editors. Among the offerings are many commendable catfishes worth discovering in the genera Corydoras and Scleromystax, with unforgettable expeditions into the native waters of South America in search of Corydoras weitzmani, Corydoras arcuatus, and Corydoras duplicareus in their native streams and forest pools.
