Bycatch Corys

[HAMidtun]

Dear nerds of the catfish world,

During my last photoshoot at the store I was shown two specimens that came in as bycatch and thus has no ID on them. Since I am better at IDing snakes than corys I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable bunch that lurk on this forum.

First one:

[HAMidtun]

And the second one

[bekateen]

The first looks like a very nicely colored fish that comes in with either

Osteogaster eques

or

Osteogaster zygata

; I suspect it is O. zygata, and the proof is how did the color fade later (vs. the color doesn't fade). The second looks like

C141

.

Cheers, Eric
