Hi, Your fish look like C. elegans to me.

Hi,

definitely elegans group but not C. elegans itself.
I would tend more towards CW008.

Cheers,

It is CW44, often imported ad C. elegans.

They can be very dark or very green, depending on mood etc.

Hi MCampos,
Did you collect these fish or buy them?
The location for where they were collected will help you further narrow which species
within the "elegans group".
Nice fish regardless,
Don

Thank you for help me.

My friend bought this fish in aquarium store.

Hi MCampos
I have to agree with the two other posters to your thread who by the way are much
more knowledgeable than I on many of the Corydoras species.
The Elegans group look similar in many respects and I attempted to see where they are collected based on your location.
According to PC; Corydoras elegans is collected in Brazil, which is why I asked if you collected them yourself.
Again according to PC;
Corydoras bilineatus is from Bolivia and Corydoras napoensis is from Ecuador.
I am not sure about CW008 and CW044.
Take care,
Don

Hi,

I think Kim is right on this, it should be CW044 or sometimes also refered to as Corydoras pestai. But the latter ID is not assured as its holotype is lost. Officially (scientifically) this is treated as synonym to Corydoras elegans.

Cheers,
