:?: hello everyone, i recently found this little guy in a tank swimming with some pygmaeus. the shop lady told me she doesn't know what it is but it came with the pygmaeus. now i'm wondering what species is this? i know it is one of the elegans-group corys but my initial guess would be C. bilineatus or maybe a juvenile napoensis. anyone with any idea what this is?

any help would be kindly appreciated. :wink:

here's a link to the pic - Image

Yup, looks like <i>C. bilineatus</i> to me. <i>Corydoras napoensis</i> would have more of a reticulated pattern on the body between the dorsal fin and the head.
