This guy was sold to me as a cory aneaus but I knew that was wrong..too many rays in the dorsal fins.
Just wondering if anyone could help me identify him??
I can try and get clearer pics tomorrow if need be

The long snout and long dorsal make pretty sure, it's Brochis.
But the Brochis-species look pretty much alike. To choose between them, you need a clear pic and count the rays of the dorsal fin.

Brochis splendens, then.
