Dead?
Those cories spawned within a week of that pic being taken. They are still in breeding condition today. I think the painted orange bottom is making them look different...lol. I assure you they are still alive and well. Pleco_breeder seen them 2 weeks ago.

First one looks like a variation of the Corydoras elegans.

I would say that the second fish is a C41 female

It looks like just a regular female C. elegans to me. It does not have the large black splotch on the dorsal fin, and it looks too green (C41 is more coppery colored).

I own C41, and the cory in the top picture doesn't look much like mine.

Q: How tall is Cartman in real life?

A: Well, Cartman doesn't exist in real life, but if he did he'd be two feet tall.

Taking another look, I got the pictures the wrong way raound. The first picture is a C41 female and the second picture looks to be a C. napoensis, difficult to say what the sex is as both male and female are colorful.

:oops: Hi ...um I'm waaay new to PlanetCatfish, but IME that first one kinda looks like a bronze/green corycat (Corydoras aeneus). Or maybe I'm wrong. Dunno, but there's my 2 cents for whatever it's worth. :D

Water-dragon if you look at the size and placement of the head and face it's clear to see what they are. Colour isn't everything!

First catfish

Post by dream_bc »

I own two of the first cat fish in the picture. I actually came on here to find out what they were. Both of mine look EXACTLY like that. When i got them, they were that pinky colour, but they both now have that grey/silver look on them like it shows in the picture. Does anyone know if this is just an age thing?
Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
