Cory ID - Sold as C. aeneus

[BullFishkeeping]

Picked a group of 12 of these up for $40 CAD. Sold as Corydoras aeneus.

To me, they look like Corydoras zygatus.

Can someone please ID them for me?

Corydoras zygatus

. Forty for $12 Canadian? That's a good price!

So they are

Corydoras zygatus

? That's awesome! And no, I got 12 for $40 CAD. Is that a good price?

Sorry, I knew what you meant and I meant the same thing. But I must have had a brain fart and reversed the numbers when I typed.

Yes, 12 for $40 CAD is terrific. That = $32.30 USD, so you paid ~$2.69 USD each. The cheapest cory I see for sale is the common bronze (aeneus), and unless they're on sale, they will be at least $2.99 USD each.

Good for you - a terrific school of corys for a bargain!

Did the store have more? Might be a good idea to get them and make your group even more splendid.

Cheers, Eric

So definitely not

Corydoras rabauti

? They're hard to tell apart.

They did! They had a whole tank full, not yet for sale (fortunately I knew the guy). Today's a holiday, but perhaps tomorrow I will go back and pick up another 12.

I am not sure what they are, exactly. That is why I am asking!

C.rabauti and C.zygatus can be told apart by the colour patterns of their fry. Best start conditioning them for breeding!
