Sexing Corys?

[qoftheq]

I'm trying to sex my leopard corys and while I've read that females are plumper I'm having trouble finding any pictures that would help me figure it out. Does anyone have any pictures of female and male corys for comparison?

Hi qoftheq

Yes, the female corys are almost always wider and longer than the males. There are other differences too, but if you look at them from the top, you will usually be able to tell which is which.

Here's a picture of a pair of mature bronze C. aeneus. The female is the one on the bottom.
