Hi CorySlo,

I'm not certain, but I think your ID is correct. There are several corys that look similar, so I can't be definitive.

Cheers, Eric

Hi,

Corydoras bilineatus would be extremely unlikely, as per my knowledge there are no commercial exports from that area (Bolivia, Rio Mamore drainage).
Corydoras sp. "San Juan" is a trade name that is quite often used by exporters in Iquitos, Peru.

Therefore I think it's safe to call them Corydoras napoensis. I don't see anything that would contradict to this ID.

Cheers,
