Hi Charly!!!

Possibly C102 (when checking the pic on Ian's site) or C. leopardus, but would believe it is the former!!

I am definitely no expert, but don't think it's trilineatus - the nose shape looks very different to me.
That said, pattern wise, it's almost identical to first image of trilineatus!

i agree martin s, this species has more of a hog nose!

Corydoras leopardus seems like the one, but cat-e-log says it's from Brazil, not Peru.

Which might be why C102 is suggested, as C102 does (according to Scotcat.com at least) from Peru.

We don't seem to have C102 in the Cat-eLog. I don't know why.

Thanks for your interesting answers. C102 seems to be very close. But Frank's gomezi too...
Is there some specific traits to tell these two apart ?

For Frank , yes from Peru but with no more details

Charly, could you e-mail Jools (webmaster at planetcatfish dot com) with those piectures [add your full name and that they are C102], as we don't even have C102 in the Cat-eLog, never mind a picture of it.
