Orange Lasers / Gold Stripe

[hunterm8]

Could somebody tell me if gold stripped corys are the same as orange lasers or is there a difference? i can't find any reference to gold stripped corys but that was the name at the lfs.

cheers mick

Gold Stripe Cory aka Corydoras schultzei

I think orange laser corys are colour morphs of the Bronze Cory (Corydoras aeneus)

Peru Orange Stripe also known as orange laser: These are classified as a sp of aeneus but many would dispute that.

C. schultzei also known as gold shoulder and Peru gold stripe: These also are classified as an aeneus and many dispute that!

I have both species. Whichever the store has they are a lovely fish. My gold shoulder are an aquarium bred variant called Blacks.
