Hi

I bought some new corydora tonight....I didnt go to the LFS for any fish...just an airstone...but I came back with 4 of these little cory's...they were listed as 'panda corydora'...but I have searched panda corydora...and they are nothing like them...I am by no means an expert though...anyone know what they are?

Ta in advance
Debbie

That is hilarious, Pandas indeed - I think you should name and shame the shop where you got them from!!!!

Bet it was pets at home, they have some "Wild caught Panda Corydora" atm that are actuallt Corydoras trilineatus.

£4.99 each, is that a decent price?

Sounds high to me for a trilineatus. They usually go for about 4 or 5 dollars around here. At a 2 to 1 ratio on the money exchange that should only be 2 or 3 pounds.

LOL...panda's have black eyes yes? Do mine look like they have black eyes? NOPE.....They have no more black eyes than Ricky Hatton before a big fight...

Got it in one.... [email protected] said are you sure they panda cory? 'Yep they are.'....said the assistant....I said I thought they were meant to have black eyes.... (me pretending I know what I am talking about) she said Hmmmmm...(looking at the tank)...I am not sure...I said well I will take four anyway....£3.99 each.....normally they sell corydora 4 for £10.00.

I since found out 1 is a Corydoras trilineatus and other 3 are sterbai....!

Mind you what can I expect....they sold me a female betta who was male...and peppered cory....and they did not know what they were?

Good old [email protected] reliable and people who know what they are talking about

Greetings. The fish is question is without a doubt, C. trilineatus. They are one of the most variable of all species. The fish is not C. julii, which is extremely rare and can only be positively ID'd if the exact point of collection, not city of export is known. With that being said, this fish in no way resembles C. julii. - Frank

Yeah! Like, " We are gonna love you and give you babies and everything, but, please, you gotta let us outa here first!"

They are nice. I am quite fond of sterbai. They are a hardy little race. And active and colorful too.
