Help identify my Corys
Help identify my Corys
Hello,
I am new to the forum and was hoping you can help me identify my new Corys. I bought them a couple of minutes ago and was told they were Julii Corys. The store owner seemed pretty doubtful on naming them. So I came home and searched Julii and these seem similar but do not have the big black spot on their dorsal fin.

Re: Help identify my Corys
Hi Roger Cha,
First welcome to PlanetCatfish!
About your fish, what you have there is . A very nice cory (I have some myself). Take good care of them and they will develop a nice green iridescence on their sides when they are in good condition.
Cheers,
Eric

Re: Help identify my Corys
Hmmm... you might have a mix there. Striped dorsal fins and black dorsal fins. Maybe both sodalis and reticulatus?

Re: Help identify my Corys
Correct, one out of the 6 I bought does have a black spotted dorsal. CW061 might be that one.
Thanks for both your help.

Re: Help identify my Corys
If the black is a nearly round spot, your fish is . If the black forms one or two think black diagonal or horizontal stripes though the dorsal fin, then the fish is .Roger Cha wrote: 02 Sep 2017, 16:42 Correct, one out of the 6 I bought does have a black spotted dorsal. CW061 might be that one.
