Ian
Would you please tell me what kind of cory it is and how should I breed them?
What's the difference between these two kinds of cories?
If you can't see the photos,please visit my album as below.
thanks

Sorry Bank,

Can't see your pics, broken link somewhere. but IMO rabauti is the more attractive fish, paler body colour, the black line along the back is narrower, cleaner and well defined and actually crosses the lateral line into the lower caudal.

C zygatus has a broard dark band, in my specimins spreading almot from back to lateral line and does not cross the lateral line into the lower caudal.

From what I can see both pictures are of C. zygatus.

Take a look at the pictures the Cat-elog and on my site.
