Found him in an assorted tank. He seems to have changed already. His spots on the body have joined together and his snout has lightened up a bit. Ideas what he is?

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	He looks like a schwartzi I'm almost sure, not 100% but that is my first thought I have 6 of them I believe (not at home so I can't go, yep that's him) They are one of my more active corries, and if there is someone up doing the mad dash around the tank at 3 in the morning then it is usually them:%)I don't honestly think they ever sleep Good find, I love mine heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

It doesn't look like C. ornatus to me either; and schwartzi cories are pretty common anyways. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I think it may be a schwartzi aswell except the dorsal fin is much higher than pics i've seen on the web of schwartzi. The first ray on the dorsal is quite thick and white coloured.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	The first photo I found on Google: [link=http://www.akvaryumhobisi.com/schwartzi1.jpg]http://www.akvaryumhobisi.com/schwartzi1.jpg" style="COLOR: #808080[/link] C. pulcher cats have a dorsal fin somewhat similar to the one you describe, but pulcher cories don't have as many spots as your fish.

If I can get my camera working properly i'll take some more pics to show you all what I mean. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes.
