Help Id This Beautiful Cory!

give the fish a few weeks to "fatten up" and then check again for sex. sometimes the store fish are rather slim either way until given good conditions and good food..
cheers

It's definitley a brochis splenden. may well just need company so therfore been a bit skittish. I would add a few more to the group and he/she should start to calm down after a while.

Ive found certain species tend to 'hang' about with each other but mostly would stick to there own kind, 1 other cory in there wouldn't suffice either way, groups of 4+ with 6+ been better would be advised to make them feel much more comfortable and alot happier.

As far as im aware brochis aren't actually a cory, they are part of the 'family' but are actually a sub species all of there own. I'm not sure if this would make them less likely to actually interact with normal cory species.

Someone like coryologist or coryman would be much better suited to answer that.
