Short nose Suessi

I know that Eric from All Odd Ball Aquatics was selling these. That may be why you were asking. Eric was very specific and stated that they are different than Gossei. I have purchased cories from Eric on several occasions and found him to be very reputable. I highly recommend talking with him if that is not the source you are looking at. I have heard some theories on long nose versus short nose being an environmental stimulus that deteremines the length of a snout. Some cichids have different characteristics when raised in an aquarium.
