Bought as Corydoras Schwartzi, but I don't think so...

Bought these guys at Shirley aquatics as Corydoras Schwartzi. Got 2 of them - ones not feeling too good though.

Sorry about the pic quality, still getting to grips with this aquatic photography malarky...

Any help ID'ing them would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Not easy to tell from the photo,s how big are they. C ambiacas have bigger spots when young. It s just an estimated guess

Well, it could be a C133 it looks close to a schwartzi, a bit more elongated though.

From the picture posted, I think it is C133

I've got another suspect non-schwartzi cory, but can't post it right now (at work...)

Thanks for your help guys!

A young C141 would be my choice, C133 is a short nosed species that it sympatric with and similar in colour pattern to C. ornatus.

I intially had it confused with a C133. I'll see about getting some current pics.

Yup, that's what my other 7 look like.

I do have this one other:

Also sold to me as a Schwartzi. Any ideas?

I'm not sure it's a Delphax. Mine seems to be browner than the pictures and has a longer nose.

Thanks for the help so far!

Well may be that it's another that looks similar, remember that the fish can show different colours depending on surroundings, lighting and how the picture was shot, with/without flash etc...

like these two:
