My Cories

[Madam Macaw]

Here are a few pics of my cories that are eating an algae wafer along with the snail:

I went to the LFS to get Swartz cories and got these instead. Now, I wrote down what they were on a piece of paper and lost it. Any ideas?

They look like trilineatus to me. Also known as false julii. Picture is not at a good enough angle to really see the details but that's my best guess.

Exactly! None of them have that.

It was mentioned on another site that they were Corydoras sodalis (False Network):

And this looks exactly like them.

What do you guys think?

sterbai maybe?

There patterns aren't as distinct as that except for the line on their body. They look more like the Corydoras sodalis (false network).

Definitely a sodalis, Trilineatus are vastly different Sodalis get a little larger too, a little taller in the body, nice solid cory

Thanks for reinforcing what I thought they were. They are quite beautiful I think.

Very nice, Madam Macaw.

C. sterbai can be ruled out. The ventral (?) fins would be orange, for one thing.

Thanks. I love these little guys!
