Calling All Cory Experts :)

[JenCliBee]

hi peeps, any one hazzard a guess to what this cory is ..... were brought by me as i thought was melini but next to my other melini im not to sure lol


shape is exactly the same as my melini's size not far off but the line down the back is like an adolfoi line doesnt seperate like a melini's on each side of the dorsel but does continue straight threw the tail.

any guesses ?

hi thanx for the link hun, not sure if it was to ID the cory's as metae or not lol but im pretty sure there not. Metae dont have the line run through to the bottom of the tail like melini dobut they dont have the body markings like melini, but do have the same charactistics as in the line straight through the tail...body shape...head pattern etc etc hence the confusion on ID

Edited: having a nice close look im pushing towards them been C. davidsandsi going by the pics looks spot on but will see what others think lol

cheers frank was edgeing towards C. davidsandsi after seeing link from inchworm they didnt come into together i brought the 2 thinking they were melini to add to my breeding group of 5 lol but hey what the hell i may have a male and female and get lucky

curious though are these cory's much more desirable and easy to get hold of? and what sort of price each are you looking at for these, curious now as i brought them as melini's

Hi. They are both very common, stateside, although we see C. melini a bit less. Basically a $5 fish. - Frank

ahhhh i guess there abit different here then never seen these in any LFS or any fish shop in that matter melini's are a bit easier to find just had a quick search and a particular online shop sells them at £10 each cant find any other online uk shops that sell them at the moment.


thanx for all the help guys and gals

Looks right, but you can't be sure unless you feel that the fish are the same age. Fish on the right could be an immature female, but I'd guess male if I was put on the spot. - Frank
