Cory ID AND Bubbles the cory's special looks

[Proteus]

This is one of the 3 species of cories in my collection that needed a positive ID. I have 6 individuals in this collection that has managed not to be sold off, traded off or get killed by my stupidity. Have had them for a year and half now and they have not increased in size, only girth. As they were straight from the wholesaler even totally forgot the name. it was generic name or something like that.

One of them is my favorite as named Bubbles has strange deformities. She has one eye that has different sized pupil than the other side of the eye. Has balloon like body deformities. One of my favorites though she's not perfect. Her picture will be also included in this thread. I really hope to keep this group for years to come. Bubbles is the really the real reason why I decided to keep this group back.

They have been in Temp 76-83 and is currently housed in the 55g as the only cory species with current temp running as 82 degrees.


Bubbles is the one in the middle of the group of 3, can see where her body falls short in this group.





BUBBLES!

Thats her normal eye side....matches all of the others in the group



This is her strange eye- notice the pupil in this eye. This is what instantly drew me in to her. Looks little wicked?



Theres so many cory that looks just like this I have not dealt with yet.

Thanks!
