Cory ID please

This was sold as an Agassizii. Does not look like pics I see.

Do you think it is an Agassizii or something else.



And this one was sold as a Punctatus. It looks more like an Agassizii to me.



Thanks...Bill

The top picture is

Corydoras sodalis

I think. I am not certain of the other one.

Hi Bill,

The top picture is a C. sodalis, there are many exporters that are now using double barreled names for Corys in an attempt to sell more fish. Things like C. sodalis puntatus and C. sodalis blochi come to mind and they all usually end up being the common species, in this case C. sodalis.

The lower fish looks close to C. ambiacus, but this is a very variable species and so is C. agazissi, which it could also be and to throw another wobbly into the pot it could also be C141.

Thanks. I guess it doesnt really matter what they are but I like to know what I have and love them anyway.

The second two seem to have blue irridesance on their cheeks similar to a Blue Acara cichlid.

Thanks again...Bill
