I know that those two species may be the same, but for now they aren't. :wink: How do you tell the one from the other?

What I read from those pics is that C. gomezi has more brainlike pattern than leopardus? I'm trying to find out what my cories are. I really don't have any pics that are good enough for identification. And I can't get new ones either, as my camera is broken. The only pic I have is this, which only shows parts of the fishes. Here they are together with B. splendens (and a few other cories too):

They were bought as C. leopardus, all from the same LFS. They all look the same, but for one who is more spotted, and not so much brainlike pattern. The black line on its side is more a whole line, and not broken up, like the others have.

:shock: They look exactly like mine! Those pics matches so much better! :D I just wonder what Ian ment with the shape of the nose - what's the difference on the nose of the C-102?
