What Species Is This?

I've had him in my tank with 6 emerald corydoras and i just cant seem to find what corydoras species he is! Maybe you guys can help. The dark line is a blueish coloration.

Take a tour around Planet Catfish. If you can't find it, post the photos and someone will ID it for you. I took a quick look there and didn't see it, so they're your best best unless someone here has one just like it.

Why do you have only one?

my first initial thought was maybe it was a bronze cory

None of mine look anything like that.

I think its colors are so dim due to stress but dont bronze cories have that same stripe

 

[This Old Spouse]

Well, mine don't. But I guess mine are just special.

I'm 90% sure it's a washed out bronze cory...

I only have one because I got it almost two years ago. The stripe isn't dark, it was the camera. Its a very light blue especially when the light hits it. I've been looking on that site, I can't find it!

I'd still post the photo on Planet Catfish. See what they have to say! Good folks over there.

 

[kevinfitz]

Ill do that now thanks!

Looks like a Corydoras Rabauti sortof, but the black doesnt run into the fin. It definitely could very well be a bronze as i have searched images and found quite a few that matched the look.

They so cute!

It looks like corydoras schultzei or bronze aeneus cory.

It looks like a bronze C. aeneus. These fish are found in many countries and sometimes they vary somewhat in color from one place to another.

What most people get from the lfs is a farm raised, gray-green fish that is called a bronze. They are no wheres near as attractive as the wild caught fish.

Corydoras Geoffroy or Treitlii?
