Several months ago I bought a few corys that to me were just plain green C. aeneus. The LFS I got them from obviously had no idea what they were when I bought them, when asked they said they didn't know, they were shipped as extras from the wholesaler and called them "plain corys" whatever that is
To the point, this morning I noticed one of them has gold shoulders, I can say with a lot of certainty the shoulders where not gold two weeks ago, which was the last time I did a very close check of these. They are not yet full grown but have just started spawning about four weeks ago.
The question is; does anyone know if the gold shoulder variety develops gold shoulders with age or because of conditions or are they always present? And, does anyone have a picture of the gold shoulder variety, from the top would be best.
