Cannot find this exact species - what is it ?

Post by corydorus »

Can anyone tell me which Cory species is it ?
Does not look like sterbai, haraldschultzi or pinheiroi to me now. :oops:

I personally think you have C. haraldschultzi, like most spotted/blotched Cory s the colour pattern can be quite variable.

That's the closest match. :)

The only things trouble me is that the species
body band/stripes are thicker and more defined.
the snout is more protrude.
the body is more elongated than sterbai.

What you say is part of the difference between C. haraldschultzi & C. sterbai

Ian, I always got the perception the differences are just opposite colour.
This is what I need to know. Now I am sure thanks !
