Hi All,

Have this little fella. He doesnt quite look like anything I have.

Could he be a Corydoras sanchesi?

Could possibly be C. polystictus http://www.corydoras.myby.co.uk/corydor ... us_htm.htm

The spotting can vary from quite large, like on my site to very fine.

I used to have two polystictus. This fella doesnt quite look like them. Also the face shape and body shape seems different.
He's got the face and body shape of the xingu but not the colouration nor the spots/ markings. That was what led me to wonder if he could be a sanchesi or otherwise.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
