gold or green Laser corydoras

Post by angellover »

Well a few weeks ago I bought some young green corydoras from Ferrybridge aquatics, 6 of them. I, yesterday, recieved 14 "green" laser corydoras which I got sent by courier from someone from aquarists classified...but they dont really look very green at all, I know they are very similar and the fish are still very stressed but i am convinced they are gold. The pic on the advert defonatly showed green, what do you think?

They hadnt long arrived when I took this video, in the tank around 4 hours and I am going to take anouther video tonight but now the stripe looks really quite gold...it may just be my lighting though

Difficult to say from that video.... They certainly don't stand out like other greens I have seen.

I would say that you have gold lasers, one, the price is normally twice what you paid. Both 'Green' and 'Gold' laser Corys have bright olive colored fins, which can add to some confusion.
