Hi everyone, new here My friend just bought this cory and although I think it's a very washed out(was with a breeding pair of Firemouths and no other cories, no plants or places to hide in the shop) C. Trilineatus. My other friend thinks it's a C. Sodalis. Now, I've looked at your Catfish files and Sodalis doesn't have a large black splodge on it's dorsal but Trilineatus does. Opinions?

Photo's, sorry they are not the best




Thanks anyone

Edit: Sorry, didn't notice there was an ID section :/

That was my second thought but I thought the body was slightly different. Like I say, it is very washed out at the moment
The body on my friends looks deeper to me

Hi,

this should be CW061.

Is CW061 the same as Sp.(C061)? If so they look nothing like each other... I'm confused, I'm not the best with CW/C numbers for corys

There are two different categories for C and CW numbers in the Cat-eLog.

The dorsal marking looks wrong The marking on CW061 is a stripe all the way through, these have a round spot not a stripe...

Hi,

if you take a closer look the dorsal fin marking is variable in CW061.
In general the body proportions are more important to look at with corys, CW061 seems to be a more slender species than C. reticulatus.
I would still say it's CW061 and not C. reticulatus. These are definitely not C. sodalis or C. trilineatus or any other (known) species.

I guess you don't have any information of the origin of the corys ?!

Nope XD I know the basics like Peppered, Pygmy, Bronze, Albino, Panda... And some others because I have bred them at some point in my life but I'm not all up on Cory's. Only the more simple and easy to come by ones.

In my opinion ,Racoll is guess is right.

Kampher,

I am afraid Racoll is not right, if you look at the true the body pattern is bolder and is dark brown and has a mat appearance, has a dark silvery pattern that is finer. is very similar to , but carries the black blotch in the dorsal fin, this blotch can vary from specimen to specimen.
