ID this cory please, was sold as C. Punctatus

Post by PanzerFodder »

Hi all.

I bought several of these corys a while back, they were being sold as C. Punctatus (I knew at the time they were not, because of the black mask).

I have looked in my book and the closest looking cory to them is "C.Brevirostris" please could somebody confirm this for me as I'm not 100% sure, and there are lot's of others that look similar IMO.
