Fish Id Required Please

Firstly:

What species of cory is this?

And, (the small redish fish, right side of pic just above the wood)


Thanks for your time.

The first one looks like a peppered cory and the second one is a tetra of some kind.

 

[The-Wolf]

the cory could be a Jullii, it is hard to tell.
the tetra is a Hyphessobrycon roseus

 

[Nauplii]

the cory looks like a peppered cory or a julii, and the tetra looks like a glowlight

 

[The-Wolf]

I was looking at the tetra in the middle
the one on the right is an albino glowlight tetra

The cory is one of the "spotted corys". Unfortunately, there are numerous species sold under that name. I can't see the head but I would lean toward the Agassizii.

Corydoras Agassizii
Corydoras Punctatus
Corydoras Melanistius
Corydoras Schwartzi


The tetra is a neon.

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

I have had trouble posting and it took so long that I missed the part where some suggested that the corys might be peppered. They definitely aren't peppered. I have those in my 29 gallon and they are much darker with splotches of black spots. Not really any pattern to them like the ones you have.

Yea i knew the blue/red was a neon tetra, just wanted the pale red/orange fish. Which i now know is an albino glowlight tetra.
Id say from the links provided the cory is more than likely a jullii.
Thanks.

Hi luke,

Have a look at this site to id your cory http/www.nettaigyo.com/corydoras/encyc/index-e.html it has loads of corys so it might take a while to look through them all

cuold you get a better picture of the cory ? that might help people make a correct identification as it could be c.trilineatus which is often mixed up for c.julii the main differance is c.julii have spots where as c.trilineatus have small lines

Could these help a bit more?

Looks like Corydoras julii or Corydoras trilineatus to me. Its not Corydoras Punctatus becuase it doesn't have the stripe over its eye. The same with Corydoras Melanistius and Corydoras Schwartzi.

[clunkster]

deffinatly not c.julii me thinks most certainly c.trilineatus

 

[rdd1952]

I don't think its the Corydoras trilineatus since all the pics I can find of those show a solid strip down the side which Luke-e's cory doesn't have. His also has a clear dorsal fin with a spot of black on it. Based on that, I believe it is Corydoras Punctatus. Of course this photo is completely different from the other photo of the Punctatus. It's really hard to say but I do think the one I just linked to is the right fish, because of the spot on the dorsal fin. Here is another pic from Planet Catfish that I think seals the deal for Punctatus.
