Who knows what kind of corydoras this is.

Post by Phoebe »

I have bought a group of 8 corydoras schwartzi from a private individual. When I arrived at home, I saw that this is a different species. But which?
I have already done some research. The fish that I have, have a lot in common with the sp.c053 corydoras but have not long nose.

I think, they are not the following species:
Corydoras leucomelas has a black upper fin.
Corydoras atropersonatus has fewer dots.

I'd agree with maybe @the.dark.one would confirm as he described it in the 90s. Anyway, wondering about the lowermost fish. It might be a different lineage - perhaps something in ?

They are indeed very similar to corydoras Kanei. I had already come across a photo of this kind, but at 'the Gläser company', there the Kanei has a yellow spot in front.
But if I just search on google, I come across similar fish.

@Jools what different lineage do you see?

I have been able to take some pictures. 1 female already seems to be looking for a place to lay eggs. Although she doesn't have one yet.

Lineage8, subclade 4 - so a higher bodied fish with a pointy snout. It's hard to tell from pictures which can sometimes be misleading (and I'm not a world champion corydoras lineage identifier). :-)
