Cory identity
Can anybody come up with an identity for what I assume to be a Corydoras, looking somewhat like Brochis Britskii (similar size with a shorter more rounded head and a seven branched ray dorsal fin )? These fish were being sold as B. Britskii, the body shape is very rounded i.e. if you sectioned the fish vertically the cross-section would be nearly circular. I am sorry that the description is a bit vague but this is all that I can produce with my limited knowledge of Corydoras. I would be very grateful for any help that anybody can give, thanks, Phill Austen.

Sounds very much like C. pantanalensis, with only 7 branched dorsal rays it is definately a Cory.
