C102? Doesn't look right

Post by mlaursen »

I have a group of Cory cats (captive bred) that I just picked up. They were sent to me as C102 but the mouth doesn't look right. They're about an inch long right now. (note there are also Cory oiapaquensis in there with them) I'm looking at the spotted guys


Thanks
Michael

The look more like C91 to me, especially at the size you say they are.They will change slightly as they get older. Certainly not C102.

The first ones looks like young C120 to me. My C91 doesn't have the black colouration in the dorsal, but my C120 does.

Tha last ones are C. oiapoquensis.

I have to agree, replied a little quick on that one.More haste lest speed I think.

Your supplier probably got mixed up with 120 and 102.

Yeah, they were off of aquabid, the picture on the auction was C102, but I got these in the box. I actually prefer the 120's though :)
