Bycatch Corys

Post by HAMidtun »

Dear nerds of the catfish world,

During my last photoshoot at the store I was shown two specimens that came in as bycatch and thus has no ID on them. Since I am better at IDing snakes than corys I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable bunch that lurk on this forum.

First one:

The first looks like a very nicely colored fish that comes in with either
Osteogaster eques
or
Osteogaster zygata
; I suspect it is O. zygata, and the proof is how did the color fade later (vs. the color doesn't fade). The second looks like
C141
.

Cheers, Eric
