I.D. my nano cory please
Hey guys, this is my first post on PlanetCatfish!
Im looking for help I.D.ing my corys. I have had them for 2-3 months and they are at a size of about 20mm so im pretty sure they are nano corys (the label when I bought them said corydoras pygmaeus). I thought they were a variant of habrosus but I am not sure. The guy at the shop says the pictures look like corydoras nanus but they would be a lot larger if that were them. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!
Here is another one I just grabbed with my phone to show the markings:

Hi,
they are certainly no C. pygmaeus and also no C. habrosus.
This is certainly a member of the elegans group, which one exactly is difficult to tell, they might be still too young/small to tell for sure.
C. nanus can be totally excluded.
Cheers,

Thanks for the input everyone. That is the same conclusion I came to kamas I ruled out those three after browsing many pictures. I will look into the elegans group, thanks!
