First time poster. I have three Cory Melanistius (or do I?) that I got locally a few months back. I'd very much like to get more of them but they have never re-stocked them. I took all they had. As a result, these guys are very skittish indeed.
Looking online for a definitive ID I see photos for both Delphax and Melanistius that look remarkably similar to mine.
I have attached some photos of mine below. I apologize for the poor quality but they stay far away from me at best.
Maybe the PlanetCatfish cognoscenti will be able to tease them out?
Thanks in advance! SD

Hi sdawson1969,
Welcome to PlanetCatfish!
For sure you have . C. melanistius is a short snouted (lineage 9) fish. Your fish has the straight, somewhat long snout of lineage 8 subgroup 4. Lovely fish. I have a few myself.
Cheers,
Eric
