Here's a new betta I just got. My friend asked me to come with her to get a betta, well she didn't find one, but I did.

Hi Sorrell,

I can't see the details on the corys to be much help, but take a look at this link and see if it will help you identify the second one for certain:

http/www.scotcat.com/factsheets/c_trilineatus.htm

This link has pictures of all the named corys and many of the C numbered ones:

http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/calli...ra/g_thumbs.htm

As you can see, some of them are quite similar in appearance. If you can't tell exactly, narrowing it down a bit will help.

Your bettas, as always, are lovely too.

Thank you much! The first one is C. schwartzi and the other is C. trilineatus. I knew the trilineatus one was sold to me as julii, but I remember reading on the forums, that they are usually labeled incorrectly.

Thanks!

I believe that the first one is a C. schwartzi...this is a picture of one of mine...looks almost identical. Cute little things aren't they?

Anyways, I LOVE Jim! What a sweetheart!
