Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping that there's a mix of sexes in that grouping. All seem pretty chubby to me but I'm figuring the odds of having all of one sex is pretty slim? Time will tell............

You know I saw the pic of the debelittera when I was searching the catalogue but just wasn't sure if that ws it or not. Hmmmm, so the person who sent me the quartet goofed in IDing them!
Nancy

Rats, it posted twice **embarrassed** Can someone delete my duplicate?
Nancy

Here are some more pics, thanks so much for looking at them. I did notice that on these, the bellies are speckled while the other two in the other pic the bellies are more uniform white. Not sure if that helps in the ID or not.

These fish were sold to me as L066's. The group of 4 I received from one person and the other group of 2 I received from someone else. The two groups look different to me so can you ID pros help me sort this out?
TIA

I just found out that the wild caught corys that I have aren't elegans but corydoras sodalis. Does anyone have any information on how to induce spawning or how difficult they are to breed? The only corys that have spawned for me so far are the bronze aenaus and I'm told those are easy.
Any input is ...

Hi all-I have some corydoras that I picked up from an importer last December. They were part of a rescue operation and some of the bags weren't marked. The importer thought they were elegans but they're markings don't look like the pics I've seen of elegans.
A friend of mine has the Aqualog book of ...

I aquired 8 wild caught corydorus Elagans. For now I have them in a 15 gal barebottom tank with a sponge filter, small aquaclear filter and a power head set on the lowest setting for water movement. They're eating fine and appear healthy. The water temp is 74, pH is 7.8 and TDS is 210 ppm. I feed ...

I have 2 of those, they were sold at Petco as upside down catfish. Mine also have big bellies but they are hogs so I know that's where that comes from. Mine only come out after lights out, then I will see them swimming upside down. Mine like to hang out vertically next to the heaters. They squabble ...

Hmm, I have used malachite green (Quick cure)for ick outbreaks several times in the past and when it was a little cat. I do feed bloodworms to all my fish several times a week in addition to various staples and froz brine. The bloated belly is recent, in the last 6 weeks or so. Possibly overeating?

I feed him (her, who knows) sinking wafers and between the syno and the pleco, they fight over the food. I think the syno is winning the food battle judging by the size of the gut!

:lol: Yeah, not the prettiest in the world but full of personality! Posed for me while I took pics of it. After reading up on eupterus, I'm not even going to try to introduce another one. If they hate each other I don't have another tank large enogh to put one of them in. Thanks for the responses to ...

I was using photobucket, think it kicked the bucket!! Using imageshack so try this

Thanks for I.Ding my fish. It does look more like the eupterus than any of the others. I still love my cat even with it's strange looks

If it's a hybrid, will it cross breed with another syno that's close to it?? (That may sound dumb) [/img]

I bought this synodontis cat from Wal-Mart when it was tiny. They called it a synodontis lace. It's now a good 6" long and pretty sure it's a female. Is abdomen is pretty large and an ovipositor is present. I'm trying to locate another and am not finding one that looks just like it. I've been shown ...
