This Cory was sold as a Green Cory. I have him with a Peppered Cory and they are almost always together. What is the proper name?

Thank You.

There is another thread regarding a similar issue in the SA Catfish - Cory forum. I believe the person asking the question also got their fish from Petsmart, although possibly no the same one. See if that post won't help you as well.

Thanks for the help, Yann. Looks the same.

Yann, Could this be C. aeneus?

Hi!

C. venezuelanus is put into synonym with C. aeneus, but the overall thinkinh nowadays is that it should gain its full specific statut!!!
