Re: Please Help ID This Corydoras
I've been looking at a lot of images of Corys with this approximate form C. agassizii, C. ambiacus and C. melanistius (and probably others) all look pretty much the same to me. Is there some good way to distinguish them (other than "gestalt")?

Re: Please Help ID This Corydoras
The fish is a Corydoras delphax, distinguishing between these C. melanistius, C. ambiacus and C. agassizii is not always easy. There are certain features in each species which separate them and it would take far more time than I have right now to explain them all. The best place to start is by checking out known images of the species. Many can be found here in the Cat-elog and also on my own site Corydoras world.
