I can't totally tell, but maybe C. Trilineatus?

Oop, doesn't look anything like a C. Trilineatus now.

I'm not quite sure what it is.

Jeff,
It looks like napoensis, but I agree with Mark a better photo would help.

My monitor doesn't have the best resolution, so I'm actually just guessing. From what I can see, the lines aren't defined enough for napoensis. I'm thinking maybe a bilineatus, aka san juan cory.

From what I can see I would say C. napoensis.

The identity of the fish aside, your new acquisition doesn't look too healthy, as I can see a red patch on the base of the dorsal fin.

yes the pic is bad but i am trying and still i can get the better one

and also i have noticed that the fin is how do i say... sticky... and it is kind of red... any hint how to treat it??

here is another one... i don't know what do you want me to picture... sorry, what is finnage??

I have found this kind of problem occurs more so with Corys that have been transported when pure oxygen has been put into the bag.
Melafix is very good if you have access to it. It is an organic product and I have found it very good at treating the so called red blotch disease.

BTW the blotch is healing...
