Thanks Rez! you know when you just *know* something is different but when you describe it it sounds like what you know it's not? It's been a bizarre day!

Lol, good catch Kathy! 99% of the people whould have left it at they are just Aeneus. At a passing glance I probably would have said the same thing. :lol:

Is it this one? http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/calli...ydora/111_F.PHP

Because I'm beginning to think they're thems.

I also agree with you and Rez. It definately looks like a C. melanotaenia. You can clearly see the gray in the last picture. Those are very nice cories. I have been looking for them for a long time with no luck.

EDIT: Spelling

Thanks! I've found a shop that stock Corydoras melanotaenia at the moment, and this is a link to the pics of them. I've got to say I think we've definitely found what my new cories are!

Someone on another board has suggested these are female C89s. I was wondering what you thought about this, because if that is the case, I find it odd there were no males in the shop.

I went back and got the last one today, so I have three now :good:

They are not C93s because both male and female C93s have a tannish belly and a little tan line that runs a bit higher than the lateral line. I don't think that you have C93s. I am sticking with my initial judgement: Melanotaenia.

Ta Rez - here's more pics.

'Scuse the poor quality. Just wanted to show you that marking on their side.

Rez · May 15, 2006

Here they are side by side, perhaps we can put this ID to rest :lol:

KathyM · May 15, 2006

In shape and fin colouring, melanotaenia. But that pale mark is making me suspicious.

Â§tudz · May 16, 2006

I think the white marking are just something from that strain of cories you have, as the same species can have slightly different colouartions depending on the areas they come from

KathyM · May 16, 2006

Thanks Studz, I didn't know that. :good:

I see you have some Corydoras Haraldshultzi (In the backround of one of your pics)! Those are my favorite, unfourtunately my LFS only has 1 of them and he costs $18 American!

We have some Corydoras Panda at PetsMart and they look really healthy! They are only $4 American also! They are only this big though: -------------

KathyM · May 17, 2006

You know, they were sold to me as Sterbas, but I was wondering if they were those too *lol*. Is there any way to tell the difference (obviously there is but I can't find info online)? I'm not bothered really, it was the orange finnage I was after. :hey:
