I did see a big shoal of corys on my trip to the Amazon last year, we caught some of them and it turned out to be a new specie of cory. I tried to film the shoal but the water was to cloudy/murky.

I was very lucky to do the Amazon trip and best yet I had as guide Heiko Bleher. I have around 200 photos uploaded on my Photobucket account: arabu1973, in the folder Amazon 2011, it has subfolders for everyday of the trip. The trip that I was on will be published in Heiko's new book DISCUSBOOK03 that will come out hopefully this month.
If you cant find the photos let me know and i'll send you a link to it.

Wow. that's looks like an absolutely amazing experience, it looks like a pretty proverty stricken area with the wooden shacks.

Is this a species you are keeping ?

Sadly no, we only caught 2 of them which had to be put down and sent to be studied and named, its a long story how its done but hey I can say that me and Heiko caught it plus 16 other new species. I'm curious to see the new book, it has few photos of me in it too plus Heiko gave me the honour of naming one of the lakes yep
