Help IDing this Cory

Post by YFS »

Hi Catfish enthusiasts,

I'm adopting a club member's remaining Corydora this weekend and I'd love help IDing this one so I can assemble a school and the optimal tank conditions. For now, this is the one good picture I have. Thanks much!

It does look like
Corydoras brevirostris
(which literally means short nose), but that's a round-nosed lineage 9 species and the pictured fish is a high-bodied, longed-nosed species.
Corydoras delphax
is a good shout, it looks darker because of the substrate too.

Delphax was what first came to mind for me as well.
Corydoras, Hoplosternum, Farlowella, Pleco
