	identify this cory?
Ethan14 Big Fish Posts: 312 Kudos: 339 Votes: 18 Registered: 06-Jul-2005	Hi I'm not sure if I have an elegans cory or an emerald green cory or perhaps something else. I want to fill out my school so could someone identify these guys? Thanks. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/Silentfire14/DSCN0310.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/Silentfire14/DSCN0309.jpg

They're the most common Corydoras species, so you won't have any trouble finding more of them. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!

I'll get some better pics later but I don't have time now. Thanks for the help guys! EDIT: Oh yeah... if they are White Tip tetras they're great. Really colorful and only an occasional lunge at one another. Last edited by Ethan14 at 25-Aug-2005 07:39

I think the Rosy tetra is similar but without the white patches. -P

Ethan14 Big Fish Posts: 312 Kudos: 339 Votes: 18 Registered: 06-Jul-2005	That looks just like them but instead of white on top of the dorsal fin they have black. Maybe a varietation? Anyways they are pretty fast and hard to get a picture of and this is the best one I got. http://photobucket.com/albums/y195/Silentfire14/?action=view&current=DSCN0319.jpg Last edited by Ethan14 at 25-Aug-2005 08:10

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Actually, it does look like you have rosy tetras. The dorsal fin tip is black instead of white, and there are a couple of other differences between your fish and Hyphessobrycon bentosi as well. The catfish in the second picture are not Brochis splendens, they are C. aeneus as well. The dorsal fin is much too small for a Brochis.
