i'm more of a lumper than a splitter, but maybe i should read the scientific publication.

Awesome, love these more in depth videos

Great video Oliver! Not to make it worse, but we have found out in Latin, Hoplisoma is Neuter(Neither Masculine nor Feminine) and while Corydoras, Aspidoras, Scleromystax, and Gastromdermus are Masculine Latin words, Osteogaster and Brochis are feminine, so therefore there are some species names changing as well. Osteogaster aenea, and Hoplisoma paleatum are a couple mentioned in the video where we have a species name change as well as the genera. Great work as always- look forward to all your videos!

Great video and breakdown on this subject, its going to take me a long time to remember the proper names of my fish now and i have a lot of different species of corydoras oops not anymore 😅

super informationen über wilde corydoras...😉👍👍👍

Thanks. Great work!!

Excellent recordings, I love cichlids, beautiful, large fish, best regards

Great video, thank you.

Informative as always, sort of a quick guide

6:40 SP. CW154 acts and swims like loaches 😂❤

So my pandas are not Cory’s they are hoplisomas?

Great information thanks

I get it, but it's still frustrating, but the frustration isn't limited to just Cory's. All of the unclassified fish are a muddy mess. The C, CW, and L numbers definitely create plenty of arguments. Not using a truly standard measurement can add to it as well, at least in the US, where game fishermen only look at the total length of a fish to meet harvesting length regulations. Not knowing how fish are measured and documented in a given published article or book can lead to disagreements at times very heated. Thank you for the time and effort put into what you are doing. I greatly appreciate it. 😊

Very interesting. Thank you

Thank you! Clear enough for this old gal to understand.

Great video, sad to see the corydoras name go away as it was such an easy latin name for a fish 😅

Very useful video 👍

Thank-you for the breakdown. It is the best and easiest to understand that I have come across. I always look forward to your videos.

Where do the gold lasers fall under?

Great video. Thanks for sharing

great video but I have to point out that the rikbaktsa shown belongs to the lineage 1 corydoras group. 👍🏻🙂

Great video. 👍👍Hopefully it won't take decades for stores and sellers to stop calling all these cats " Corydoras". Looks like my old library of fish books needs some updating. ;)

OK, instead of a cory fan and breeder I am now a Hoplisoma and Gastroderma guy - fine, I am german, I like to be exact anyway ^^

Thank you. Glad to hear my Brochis splendens keep their name!

Oliver I always enjoy your content but this dose of info is a doozy...gonna take some getting used to 😉 Strange but I've never kept any of the species from here in Trinidad. And I certainly didn't know that we had that gorgeous green species. I think you need to write a book on these new classifications 👍🏻

Great content sir❤

Awesome! thanks for doing!!

Thank you. Very interesting 🌿🌾🌿

Very informative for us aquarium hobbyists who love Corydoras.

These cichlids love you more than you can love them back❤ Sadly they cant speak English to express their gratitude 💐🙏🏻

Amazing video!

Great 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oscar goes to you

You may have put “Bryconops sp. Rondonia” and “Bryconops sp. Rio Curuá”'s profiles in reverse order。 “Bryconops sp. Rio Curuá”''s fins have no white spots。Rio Curuá is a black water river, so how can “Bryconops sp. Rio Curuá” have bright white spots?

Omg what is this. The quality!

Colouration of the piranhas and crenicichla is pointing that they are thriving in this region 😮❤

How you find always the places where the fishs are ?

Thanks for sharing 👍

Amazing video, can’t wait for the next one

Great vid! Goldmining is well rubbish

Good job!

Very interesting

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks Oliver.

Very nice !!!👌😎👍

Great video showing all the diff types of Royals and their natural habitat.

their mouths remind me of the xingu pike's mouth. Sad but at 0:17 you can see something burning, presumably rainforest in the far distance.

Cichlids are spiny-rayed fish that constitute the family Cichlidae, there are many extant species within many genera, they are one of the only two extant families within the order Cichliformes, the other being the convict blennies (family Pholidichthyidae), a recent sequencing study ribosomal mitochondrial DNA of a large taxon sample divides the cichlid family into two major clades, the first of these being the subfamily Cichlinae, known as the "New World Cichlids" consisting of six groups, Heroini, Cichlasomatini, Chaetobranchini, Geophagini, Astronotini, and Cichlini, the second clade is the subfamily Etroplinae, known as the "Old World Cichlids", including all other cichlid species, Etroplinae is composed of fifteen groups, Etroplini, Heterochromidini, Ptychochromidini, Bathybatini, Coptodontini, Cyprichromidini, Ectodontini, Eretmodontini, Haplochromidini, Lamprologini, Limnochromidini, Oreochromidini, Tropheini, Tilapiini, and Hemichromidini

My favorite eartheaters! Retroculus! Never seen any footage of them in the wild. Thanks for the great video!
