Re: Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
In this post by snowball from Dec. 12, 2020 (https://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49658), the specimen shown is compared with sp(CW029), and with sp(CW105). Although no conclusive interpretations were possible or given, it was suggested that the specimen resembles most C. sp(CW029), m...

Re: Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
Thank you Eric. I am very happy with it, and it is coloring up nicely. I wish it was 10 of them, not 1. That way one could see variability in color and pattern. Unfortunately, it is just the odd one. It and 2 trilineatus who are together in quarentine are going in a tank that currently has another 2...

Re: Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
Thanks again! I am definitely seeing quite a strong resemblance with Corydoras (lineage 5) napoensis. It is too bad the quality of my pics is so low, and will try to get better shots. In addition to the color "characters" I mentioned before from my specimen, I do see a strong resemblance i...

Re: Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
Thank you both. Here are some additional pictures, unfortunately not much better but hopefully useful together with previous. I guess a combination of excuses (yeah, excuses)- Poor skill (plain and simple); Quarantine tank is hexagonal and very scratched-up, making for difficult angles for viewing; ...

Re: Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
Ok, still not very good images, but this may provide additional information, hopefully allowing identification. In quarantine for at least 1 month. Color characters I see (probably not all of equal importance): 1) light and dark longitudinal striped pattern, 2) black triangle on dorsal fin, relative...

Re: Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
Many thanks! I will definitely try to get better pictures and post them. Unfortunately no additional information came from PetSmart. They did not know anything beyond that the single fish came as an 'odd one' in their regular biweekly shipment, and that it came together (contaminant) with the 'julii...

Cory id please - C. bilineatus Knaak, 2002 ?
Hi All, I found this single specimen at a PetSmart, next to another tank with several "C. julii". I will examine the 'julii' separately, but the single specimen shown here definitely caught my attention. I bought it without a second thought and I would like to run my first (poor) pictures ...

Re: Brochis ID and gender confirmation
Thank you Bekateen.
I will try to get better images and post them. They are not full grown, as they are still about the size of C. aeneus, and they can grow larger than that. Cheers!

Brochis ID and gender confirmation
I could use some help confirming the id of these 2 corys (Brochis), and opinions on genders, if at all possible. I realize the single image may be far from sufficient, but is what I got right now. They are both young, still growing. I believe they are both Brochis splendens, based on shape and count...

Re: How to kill Brush/Beard algae and better than an SAE
I have been doing something similar for quite some time, specifically against BBAlgae, with excellent results. Spraying full strength Hydrogen Peroxide (out of a dedicated spray bottle) achieves the same, with the advantage of not introducing oils into the tank. A day or two after application, BBA b...

Re: 3 different corys (or only 2)? Help with ID's
Hi Eric, Many thanks for your response. I appreciate it. Regarding C. trilineatus - Could you point out some differences between trilineatus and leopardus? Since my large C. trilineatus (# 1) was acquired first, I asked folks about it some time ago, stating that it looked like C. trilineatus. Howeve...

3 different corys (or only 2)? Help with ID's
My first post on this site. I need help from more experienced Cory connoisseurs. These 3 Corys where purchased at different times from different vendors, but now are together in one of my tanks. Source localities are unknown, not even a country. 1) The first one I believe may be C. leopardus (please...
