I have my guess as to what sex this fish is, but I just want to confirm with others opinion.

Thank you

Same fish different shot.

Definitely a male.

Breed them if you can. Not the easiest Corydoras to spawn but definitely one of the cool ones.

Thank you. my guess was a male as well.

They sold me this huge male thinking it was a female. I don't have any females and doesn't looks like the last 10 robinae at the LFS are female either.

All 10 males defies the odds but it happens. I would give the group some more study just in case. I know where you can get more in the USA but I know that is a hassle for you to order out of country.
I almost ordered some but in the end I went with species I thought would be easier to breed but the prices were good. I think they were only $7.00 each.

Lets try this one more time. They only have 7 left. This is the only one with the fin not as pointed as the others. Probably a male though.

I think you're right.

I should have netted out the smaller male for comparison.

Both fish is approx 1/2" smaller than the first male I posted.
