Cory Gender

Can anyone tell me if my bronze and albino cory is male/female

Fairly impossible to tell from those photos but educated guess from body shape would say 2 males...

Thanks MBOU sorry for the low quality pics but i would agree aswell

well... the albino is 100% male so if the bronze is as slender as the albino, then both are male lol

 

[zain611]

Is this alright?

Hard to tell, but I'm guessing male. If you are interested in breeding... its best to have 2m for every 1f. Also, is the albino C. aeneus? There are several breed of cories that come in albino form, but the bronze (C. aeneus) is one of the more common.

I think its a albino bronze cory but it looks like a have to wait and see if i get my next tank then

Female corys are a lot fuller in the body than males, also a males dorsal fin is pointy and stands at about a 90 degree angle compared to the female dorsal which is slanted diagonally at about a 45 degree angle.
