Re: Aspidoras ID

Frank,

What are the visual distinguishing factors for these two species ?

Re: can anyone sex my Schwartzi

Take a plastic shoe box. ($2 Wal Mart) Place 2" of their tank water in clean box. Place the corys in the box for observation. Looking down on top of them gives a very good perspective for "guessing" cory sex. Females, if well fed, look "plumper" than males. Of course these a...
