Tiny Cory ? Not Corydoras Pygmaeus

[pippoodle]

Hi there

I've got one little tiny cory its a dwarf one the same size as pygmaeus but its got black dots and dashes on him
i got him free from somene who's had to give up their tank while they are moving but i want to order some friends for him .
He's happy playing with the pandas and the peppered cory but i want to get some more like him and i need the latin name so i can ring my local maidenhead aquatics and order them .

So can someone please tell me his latin name .
best pic i could get of him cos he's always swimming round the tank and never sits still lol

Thanks Sarah xxxx

At first I thought it was a Botia loach but I noticed it has an apidose fin (the small fin behind the dorsal), it could be an Aspidoras species.

i been really looking well and thought it maybe a Corydoras cochui or a Corydoras habrosus but i'm not sure both pics look similar to me
he does look very similar to one of the small Aspidoras species aswell

ARGH why cant the little bugger just talk and tell me what he is lmao

I think you may be right with your guesses, it's either C. habrosus or an Aspidoras species.
