New Cory

[Inchworm]

I just picked them up today. The lfs was selling them as large C. julii (what else?) They are mature fish, a little shaky from being shipped, and nervous as can be, but otherwise seem to be healthy. I did ask if anyone knew where they were imported from, but no one there at the time knew. However, that lfs usually gets most of their corys from Brazil. I don't know if it will help, but in the same tank were two smaller corys that had similar markings but more rounded noses.

Coryologist, please help me identify them.

Sorry to hijak a bit but Actually, just went back to my photos to check (sadly my fish didnt make it), and looks completely different no lateral stripe and not as spotted. so could u have a peak at this one too Coryologist? or Inchy, or anyone else.

Hi loraxchick

I don't mind one bit. I can't help you though. I think my eyes cross when I try to compare fish to each other. Coryologist is the best one at this.

Thanks so much...last attempt had my other mystery juli (im fairly certain) positively ID...but not this gal.
cheers!

Hi. No real help, here. Possibly C128 or C. leopardus . - Frank

Thank you, Frank. That narrows it down. I'll try to get a better look at them tomorrow. Right now I'm letting them rest.

BTW, did you ever hear of a cory refered to as a "hatchet bodied cory"? This picture isn't very good, but perhaps you can recognize it. I have no idea where it might have originated since I got them at a different lfs. Thanks for looking.

Hi. Looks like a regular old C. reynoldsi that could stand a bit of conditioning. - Frank

Thanks again, Frank. I never saw them before. It's a relief to know that they are just small fish and not some larger species that isn't growing for me. Here's a (not too good) picture of them today.

BTW, did you see loraxchick's question in the third post down?

Sorry, I can't help you with this one. - F.

Hi. They grow to a fairly nice size. Just not a long in the body fish. - Frank
