Corydoras Identification
This corydoras was listed as corydoras sp. at a fish store. I was hoping I could get help figuring out the species before I purchase the fish.

Re: Corydoras Identification
Thanks for the help, I contacted the seller and told them. They said the issue they had with it being similis was to do with its color. I for one agree that it is a similis after all though.

It will colour differently if kept over light sand rather than black substrate.AvengedKombat wrote:They said the issue they had with it being similis was to do with its color.
