'Assorted' cory
Working on pictures.
In short my lfs got in some 'assorted' cories and finding seven of what looks like the same species, I grabbed them all. The cories were dark in the tank, black to gray body-wise, but all of their fins, dorsal, pec, and tail were orange-red. They seem to have some kind of mark over their eyes.
Aiming for pictures once they have calmed from being released from the bag.
They do not have the scheutzi body or head shape, more like C. bondi around the head.

Re: 'Assorted' cory
Good guess, mds.
.
As the first picture (as well as others) shows a pale specimen, have a look at pics 18 & 19 wrt colour of the fins.
I'm no expert, so I take it the high dorsal evolves with age.

I've just changed that, so the first picture now is more representative.Marc van Arc wrote:As the first picture (as well as others) shows a pale specimen

It looks like you changed it for a B/W picture(?). Well, sort of B/W.Jools wrote:I've just changed that, so the first picture now is more representative.

@Mats,
I think the top one is a good representation? Can you add it to the catelog?
@Taratron,
Hopefully these extra pics also help confirm the ID?
