Could these be C-041?

Post by zelda03 »

Hi, I see there is quite a few elegans-ID posts here, and here is one more.
I purchased these as wild-caught Corydoras elegans, but I don't think they look like elegans. After looking at the Corydoras pics here, I would say that my fish resemble C-41 more than elegans.
Could I be right, or maybe you have another suggestion?

The first image shows the new fish next to an elegans male, and you can see there is a difference.

Ps. Hope my pics are included. This is my first post and I'm not quite sure how to include pictures :oops:

The two on the left in the first pic I would say could be C41.

I have a breeding group of fish looking like yours, and C41 is the closest thing I've found yet.

Yours are very pale and could also look a bit like pestai, but I think the body is too slim. the C. pestai I've seen has a higher body I think.
Best regards,
