similar to reticulatus

Post by fishypaw »

hi folks. i need to start this with an appology for the fact that i dont have a pic of my fish yet.

i bought a cory recently that as far as i can tell looks like a reticulatus. the trouble is when i look at the pics of reticulatus here, it is almost the same but doesnt have the same black spot on the dorsal fin. mine has the reticulated spots but only has a small black 'slash' across its dorsal fin.

what i would like, if possible, is for people to suggest corys that look very similar to reticulatus so i can look up the pics and compare them to what i have.

thanks in advance and again sorry i dont have a pic yet, soon hopefully.
