March 2003: Some weeks ago we received a few pieces of Corydoras baianinha. This extreme rare Corydoras only occurs in a little number of small streams in the south of Brasil. The population of Cordoras baianinha is very much in danger, because its living space was already largely distroyed by environmental pollution and forest clearing! It would be highly appreciated if some aquarium hobbyists would try to breed this endangered species. This kind was not furtherly studied scientifically. It is known, however, that the animals occur in cool black water with low total hardness. We hope that the continued existence of this species can be ensured in this case. (Photo F. Schäfer, Text K.
