I am very poor at IDing fish. It could be Peru Orange here or Red Stripe here, schultzei gold shoulder here, Gold Cory (C. aneaus Gold) here,

Thanks jollysue i think chances are its a gold shoulder.

nice

I tried to get the schultzei recently but the ones Iwanted were gone. I have the Peru Green and Orange, as well as the desendent of the schultzei, the blacks. But I think the Gold Stripe/Gold Shoulder/Gold Flash is very handsome. I think there are many questions abot the lineage. The Peru Gold Stripe and the green and orange are not necessarily close cousins. Maybe! The classifications are very much in disarray and dispute.

Looking at the image it looks like the stripe extends, although faintly, all the way across the back, which would make me err towards C. schultzii.
