Looks like a hybrid - decorus x multipunctatis or similar. Had a similar thread on another forum, looked exactly the same.

There have been a couple of previous threads on this.

It is pretty much agreed that this is not a true decorus although it is close but it has some multipunctatus heritage somewhere.

I have not seen or heard of it being called a valentine syno.One of the previous threads indicated it was labelled a burmese hi fin cory!
