Welcome, great photo. That cory and CW016 are jointly at the top of my wish list.

C. aeneus...hmm...there is different opnions about that

You fish is CW009 or "green laser" and by many hobbyists regarded closer to C. melanotaenia than C. aeneus. I personally believe it to be a real species. I have bred tham and egg size is large and the egg number is low compared to what you would expect if it was C. aeneus-related.

But as the others say; very beautiful fish

Thanks to everyone for the comments.
And I do agree with Kim that someday these cutes will be classified into a new species. Time will tell

However, the local aquaria as well as some cory. sites still categorized the Green/Gold-Stripe into C. aeneus.
I'm now keeping 7 of them in a 10g tank and planning to move them to a 25g one.
