saw this cory in the LFS...

Post by Bathos »

i saw a cory in the LFS yesterday that looked much like C. punctatus. it's probably C. punctatus, but i was wondering if C. reticulatus has dots as a juvinile that become the squigglies (such a scientific term!) as the fish matures, much like C. trilineatus. anyone know? it looks like this fish may have come in with some C. rabauti or C. delphax.

If the fish came in from Peru it is not C. punctatus this fish comes from Surinam. Without seing a picture I am only guesing but it could be either C. cruziensis (C11)

or C mamore

If its not one of these take a look around my site pages, there are more than 250 species there.
