Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006	Edited by budzilla i picked up a few of these at the LFS about 2 weeks ago. Im not sure what species though, i think it is c. ambiacus, however there are a few similar looking corys. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k82/budzilla_2006/DSCN2667.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k82/budzilla_2006/DSCN2678.jpg can anyone properly identify them? -Vincent

Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006	i just found this one that also looks like it, because they do have some markings on the tail, the picture is of the male which has the least markings. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=310 -Vincent

So I think you've got it now, as the markings on C. brevirostris look identical in comparison to the pictures of your cories.
