Don't Know What Kind Of Cory I Have

[rachh004]

I have 2 cory cats in my 55 gal tank. I forgot what kind I bought. They are about 2 inches. They have lots of vertical stripes, like a zebra. All the ones I have been finding online have long horizontal stripes. Can anyone tell me what kind they are?

Cam you post a picture? It'll help lots with identification!

Here it is. He is hiding so I don't know if anyone can identify him

Hello Rachhoo4
That is a zebra loach(common name) the scientific name is a botia striata. Very pretty I might add.

 

[rachh004]

thank you so much. The guy at the fish store told me it was a cory catfish. I swear sometimes I think they just make things up.

Hi rachh004

There might have been corys in tha tank, but this isn't one of them. Since you now know what you have there, why not ask questions about it's care here:
