What do I have?

Post by silvernes »

Now these are both supposed to be Albino corydora aenues - but notice how the front one had a darker eye-lid? My entire cory-school is split like that & I'm still wressling with them trying to figure out if they are just different varieties or an entirly seperate species of corydoras.

The 'albinos' (back one) have reder eyes & are more white, the others are alittle more pink with slightly more metlic sheen & of course the funky eye-lids.

My only guess so far is that the front-ones could be Albino bronze cory...

Any suggestions?

They both look like albino C. aeneus (which is the same thing as a bronze cory) to me. There is some variation in color, even among albinos.

I thought that might be all it is - I have gotten so fry from these fish so they do seem to like eachother regardless.

Just thought I'd ask the expert.

Thanks!
