Cory Decker?

[markandhisfish]

im trying to get a decent pic but they only went in the tank a little while ago and are still in hide and sulk mode. basicly very light background with a black "bandit" stripe through the eye and a thick black stripe which mostly covers thje dorsal fin and runs diagonally down to the base of the caudal fin. is there such a fish as cory decker? and if not any possiblities? will post pic soon as poss .
