I bought a couple of these from Pets at Home and they didn't have a clue as the lable had gone walking. I haven't been able to match with searching different Cory names and images.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like it could be Corydoras Reticulatu

Thanks, Just Googled - looks close but the pattern on the dorsal fin of a C. Reticulatus looks different?

It could be that yours is still young, I find that even with C. julii and C. trilineatus there can be quite a lot of variation in their dorsal fin spots. Maybe try finding as many different photos of reticulatu as possible and it will help you decide if yours is this type. Some other names for them are Mosaic Catfish, Network catfish, and Network Corydoras.

If not C. reticulatu, then yours could be C.sodalis the dorsal fin pattern looks very similar.

Hope that helps
