Corydora ID please

Post by Misskiwi67 »

Hello,

I have some photos of the cories I bought last christmas. I think they're both female, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I think they're fabulous, and I'd like to get some more, but I can't until I find out what they are. :D

Thanks for the help!

Smiles,
Alinda

Hi,

i agree with Heok Hee that this is what is usually called C. napoensis (Take a look here, also look at the holotype there). "Ususally" because afaik it is questionable if this species is really C. napoensis.
The C. elegans group contains a vast amount of species and is in desperate need of revision.

Greetings,

Achim
