Cory Id Please

[jimmyringo]

Hi,
the LFS had these marked as Julli and as Punctatus which i'm pretty sure they're not..Can anyone give me a positive id please.

its not a julli and ive just looked it up and looks like a schwartzi.i think someone will say if im right.lol

I would say it is definitely neither of those fish. As soon as I saw an ID picture I knew that for sure. The closest I have found is Corydoras agassizii and I don't like the match on that either. Maybe a real Cory expert will come along and help.

I was thinking maybe agassizii because of the black head but i really don't know.

nah dont think so

All you can do is guess. It's not a very healthy specimen and could use some coloring up. - F.

if it was in better condition it would help but with better colouring on the original markings i would put money on schwartzi.

i'd been inclinde to say schwartzi, i personally wouldn't have said CW028

It could be any one of a dozen fish. Unless you know where the fish was collected, all you can do is guess. I doubt the owner knows the country of origin, let alone the river system it was collected in. - F.

I can tell you the shop it was bought in

I only got them today so hopefully they'll condition up after a while in my tank.Here's a couple of pics of the other one:

Although extremely variable C. schwartzi do not possess a white leading dorsal ray. It is black and extends almost to the top. Admittedly, my CW028 call was way off the mark. lol. Try asking your lfs where it was shipped out of, although that says nothing about the collection point. Could easily be a C. pulcher variant. There are lots of them, most undescibed in the literature. There are only 2 people in the world that if they put a name or a number on that fish, that I would accept it as gospel and they don't visit here. - F.
