Hi Phil-
(for other members, I was the other one who suggested that Phil's fish looked like what I'd bought as CW021);

the more I look at your fish, the more I'm convinced it's the same species as the F1 fish I got from Mark Walters in July last year as CW021 (which doesn't guarantee that they are, but Mark is pretty well-known in catfish breeding circles in the UK). Mine have the full-black dorsal like yours, but looking at old photos of them as juveniles, they didn't:

Image
This is a very bad picture of them at the end of October last year (among some C. pygmaeus), but it does show that they lacked the all-black dorsal then as subadults/juveniles.

Can anyone vouch that CW021 lacks an all-black dorsal throughout its life? If so then your fish and mine can't be CW021, but mine looked exactly like the pictures of CW021 when younger, and now look exactly like your fish.

(I also think Phil's bottom photo has another species of cory in it facing toward the camera, if anyone's confused by it)

In the last pic in the original post the fish on the left seems to have a patterned caudal fin - is this the same sp?
