Garofoli Big Fish Posts: 337 Kudos: 143 Votes: 27 Registered: 12-Apr-2006	I just got "6" Leopard Cories. For what I know is that I have 5 Leopard Cories. There is one wierd cory that obviosuly dosent belong. First a verbal description... It has three horizontal lines going the length of it and a "Mask" over its eyes. No picture possible, hes too fast! Thanks. Chris

Kunzman96 Hobbyist Posts: 144 Kudos: 91 Votes: 115 Registered: 29-Oct-2006	I am leaning toward Corydoras Agassizi, or Agassizi's cory. Check out this pic. http://www.fishprofiles.com/profiles/gallery.aspx?id=636 The Bandit does not have the spotted flanks unless it is a hybrid of a Bandit and a Leopard. I am no expert on Corys though, but look at that photo and look at the photo of the Bandit. "Talk is cheap. Action can be almost as affordable"

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	The fish in that picture you linked to is Corydoras leucomelas, not Corydoras agassizi. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Garofoli Big Fish Posts: 337 Kudos: 143 Votes: 27 Registered: 12-Apr-2006	I trust you Natalie but do you think it is a "mutt"? Do you think the sale value is greater because I would like to get all Leopards, But it dosen't really matter. Chris

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Edited by sirbooks From what I can see of the photo, it looks like a regular C. schwartzi and not a variant. In my area these sell for a little less than C. leopardus. EDIT: By "mutt" did you mean hybrid? This fish doesn't look like it, and I'm not sure how willing the two species would be to interbreed. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	Considering how C. schwartzi is just short of impossible to breed and don't fetch enough on th eopen market to be worth hormonal injection, I doubt it. It definitely appears to be C. schwartzi. Btw, this: [href]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/636.htm[/href] is NOT C. leucomelas.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	I never said that picture was Corydoras leucomelas. I said the picture that the picture that Kunzman96 was linking to (this one) was. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Kunzman96 Hobbyist Posts: 144 Kudos: 91 Votes: 115 Registered: 29-Oct-2006	Oops! Sorry. I take it the (other pictures) thumbnails are not always accurate pics in the profiles. It had it listed as Agassazis. (Embarrassed) "Talk is cheap. Action can be almost as affordable"

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Definately a Schwartzi if you don't want him send him on over to the tank of the unwanted/lone cory tank in my living room...he'll find a friend or two or three, or uh fifty in there I'm sure Gotta love corries "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
