Cory ID for new Cat-eLog picture.

This picture is submitted for Cat-eLog inclusion, and it's probably not what it was sent in as, so I'd like someone who knows a bit more than me about Corys.

That does indeed look like a good ID to me. I'll leave it a while longer to get a second "vote".

yes I also think it's C. leucomelas.

chance is high it is this species, because they are exported on a large scale. the fishermen always get these in their nets, hence the local name of the species.

Looks a lot like these I bought as Cor. Punctatus.. I´m not sure the name is right though..

Hej Henke,

No, I don't think they are C. punctatus, and that they are, also, C. leucomelas - which is a nice fish.
