Help with i.d. for this cory

Post by nurseshelly »

Hi,
I have had this cory for about 2 or 3 years, he/she came from a miscellaneous cory tank. I bought him along with some reticulated julii cories because they were schooling together. Any ideas on what he is? When I look through the pictures on the site I don't find anything that looks just like him. He looks the a lot like a sterbai, but does not have the yellow on the pectoral fins, the reticulated markings are not as clearly defined, the dorsal fin has slightly different markings, and the tail is different. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Michele

I looked through the cat-elog again ... do you all think he/she is a corydoras reticulatus? Just with not as defined markings as the ones in the pictures? That is the closest I have seen so far, not sure how I messed it the first time around.

Hi,

have a look at CW061, this is another option. Difficult to say with the pic.

Cheers,

I think he/she is a corydoras sodalis ... looks exactly like my fish :)

Hi,

C. sodalis does not have a black blotch in the dorsal fin.
