C delphax?... Or what?

Post by ChileRelleno »

I'm thinking these are C.delphax.
They are very similar to some other Cs I have that were ID'd as C.delphax, but there are a number of Cs that are so similar I have a hard time making a positive ID.
Appreciate input, thnx.

They look like C delphax to me, especially with those caudal markings

Thanks for the reply...

I've been keeping a eye out for these, they come very infrequently mixed into my LFS's SA shipments.
They have no clue, a Cory is a Cory to them :roll:
I got a hold of two of'em awhile back and just found three more.
Dagblasted spotted Cories are so hard to postive ID most times.
I hope Coryman(?) will come along and second your ID.

Two plus me makes three, C.delphax it is. :D
I've been waiting for these, I'll be waiting for even more.
This is the only oddball Cory I've seen in their shipments, I wonder what the exporter thinks they are?
