Corydoras Axelrodi

 

[The-Wolf]

hmm possibly
the pics I've seen of C.axelrodi dont have a black trailing edge on the dorsal fin.

Hi The-Wolf

They look like C. axelrodi to me too. Since that species has some variations, they could well be part of it.

Nice looking fish too.

 

[The-Wolf]

ok well I'll take it as they are C.axelrodi then
Yay I have rare cories (rare for my area that is )

Thanks all
I have phoned the shop and told them what they are.
I also told them that what they are selling as C.adolfoi (which they spelt adolphi) are
in fact C.imitator.
I shall be getting them next week

Thats awesome. The LFS's around here do not get any interesting cories. The only kinda rare one Ive found are the Corydoras leucomelas and I got 6 of those
