Corydoras ID

Hi, need help ID-ing these cories



Thanks

Bottom pic could be CW028. My second guess would be C. pulcher. Some peeps think my CW028 pic is C. pulcher, but I have both species and don't believe so. - Frank

The first fish looks to be very close to C110, the second C18 and the third is C. pulcher. All three species will display variation in their colour patterns within a population, this can often cause confusion when trying to identify a species.

Ian - do you think that the fish in my pic is ID'd correctly. Since the photo was taken the first dorsal spine has grown, significantly, a few displaying a waving flag appearance. Cheers. - Frank

Thanks for the ID no wonder i cant seem to breed them. I initially thought the 1st and the 2nd pic was a pair. How do you ID pulcher and C141

[Coryman]

Frank,

Your fish is C28 without a doubt.

900801,

If you look at the images you will see that the body patterns are very different. Also the head and body shape are different.

Thanks, Ian. I'm setting up a new photo tank today and will shoot my supposed C. pulcher to see if you are with their ID. Cheers. - Frank
