Found these at a Petsmart in a tank labeled "Spotted Cories". It was the stripe along both sides of the back that caught my eye.

They look like the fish that are called "Gold line elegans" in the hobby.

Nice find!

Thanks Kim. Do you know if this is a color variant of C. elegans or a separate species? I have one which I believe to be a male and he reminds me a little of C. bilineatus.

I think they're considered a seperate species... Ian Fuller and other have bred them. I have no experience with them myself.
