Re: id help on corys
I was going to say but the markings aren't distinct enough. Will leave it for the experts!

Not certain, but springs to mind.
I also took the opportunity to move this to the "ID section".

Re: id help on corys
the two in the front are septentrionalis and the ones in the back .. maybe undulatus?

Re: id help on corys
The smaller ones (i.e. middle and back) are Corydoras bilineatus. I have 5 of them and really enjoy them. They are more like the elegans cory and they swim mid-water more than my other cories.

Re: id help on corys
Hi,
C. septentrionalis is a good call. If you have a good picture of the barbels you can confirm this.
It is one of very few species having a third rictal barbel.
For the other I agree that they seem to be C. bilineatus.
Cheers,

Re: id help on corys
The two long snouted species are at this moment in time unknown, Going by the head and snout shape, I do not believe they are C. septentrionalisit, There is a possiblility they are C. cortesi. The fish at the back look like C. napoensis.
