New Corys!!

Post by ZeroZ »

I bought 10 new Corydoras today: 5 Corydoras ehrhardti (wild caught) and 5 Corydoras melanotaenia.
Can you help me decide the their sex?


Here's the Corydoras melanotaenia's:

And here's the Corydoras ehrhardti's (actually their barbles are damaged, and mabye their fins are that too? Because when I look at their ventral fins they all look like females, they're rounded and small):

C. ehrhardti, top left and bottom center are females. C. melanotaenia, bottom far right female, next to far right also female, I think.

Hi Matte,

The bottom right of the C. melanotaenia is the only definite female I can see and top left and bottom centre in the group of C. ehrhrardti look to be femakles.
