Corydoras narcissus?

Post by Crissytal »

I bought 3 of these guys yesterday. First time I've ever seen them in an LFS. Are they common or hard to come by? The owner of the place was calling them skunk cories.
Thanks.

Interests: The "passion" for fish has subsided somewhat the last couple years, only currently keeping two corys and what might be an LDA-33, as catfish goes.

These are Corydoras arcuatus, nor narcissus. C. narcissus is a long-nosed species.
