ID corydoras with single stripe

Post by cinnamonsticks »

Greetings,

I just got this little guy yesterday. The seller stated that he had never seen one before. I will try to get more pictures. I believe he arrived with a group of wild caught CWs. He is a juvenile and has a slightly brighter than body color stripe on both sides near the dorsal fin which is better seen in the last two pictures.

Thank you!

The corycat was collected in the Madre de Dios area of southern Peru.

The german distributor Glaser has a Cory in stock that looks pretty much like yours. Don't know if the localities match though. Have a look http://www.aquarium-glaser.de/en/corydo ... _1462.html

Oh, great find! The markings look the same except the colors. This fish is orange, my fish is pink.

Someone from my club states that this fish is a CW041, because they come from the same area, and my fish could be stressed out a bit changing his appearance.
