Unknown cory cat

Post by calicocat »

Hi,
Could anyone help me identify this cory? I purchased him from my LFS, which classed him as "assorted corydoras". He was the only one there so I bought him home.

Thanks, calicocat

Hi,
it looks alot like him but he is a bit bigger than what they say they grow to. He is about 8cm now.
Thankyou for all your help,

Which lfs did you get him from? From this end it would help to know which wholesale that shop deals through. I still have most of the wholesale lists available when we had the shop so I might be able to dig a little deeper on the supplier side of things for you.

Hi,
He was brought in by a customer that was getting out of fish. I got him from a petshop in Thornton, NSW. He looks alot like the Corydoras melanistius. Thankyou everyone for all of your help,
