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

I would go more toward something like
Corydoras melanistius

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,

Corydoras melanistius

sychri luminoso, is in most cases
Corydoras sp(c053)
, but I`m not saying that your fish is that specie.

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,
