Would anyone happen to know what species the cory furthest to the back is in the attached photo? Thanks!

its something like Cory ambiacus, , cory lamberti, etc

have a look at cat-e-log to see more pics

Thanks Richard, been there, done that, but couldn't find anything that had a solid line at the base of the caudal fin. So I guess my search will continue.

yes that line of colour is pretty obvious in this individual. Many species show a bit of variation but this one seems a bit distinct. Is it wild caught & do we know capture location if it is?

There would alwaysbe a slight possibility that it is a hybridised individual but this seems a rare occurrance with corys

actually does have a solid line at the base of the caudal fin, but it's body markings are much more defined. I think is a better bet, in the Cat-eLog pics no black marking at the base of the caudal fin is shown, but after browsing other images I found several that showed a solid black line across the base of the caudal fin. I think it probably depends a lot on locality with this fish.

It's definately not osteocarus.

We really ned Kim M or Coryman etc to chip in

It is defiantely neither osteocarus or ornatus.

I think the snout is too long for the species Richard mentions. I would lean more towards delphax allthough the pattern is a bit large-spotted for those also. It could be one of the manu C-numbers with a pattern like this. A catch-location would have been handy

Thanks gents, appreciate the help. Richard, I would expect that it is wild caught as it arrived at a LFS with a group of C. reticulatus, which I'm assuming are not being commercially bred as of yet.

As to collection location, I'm afraid that is a question that I would not be able to answer.

Thanks again.

Well...theres's C10 and C80. Maybe C103 as well...

There are probably more of these spotted ones that come unnoticed as contaminants. All difficult to tell apart.
