ID confirmation

Post by Pomerania »

Hello,
I have some questions about my new cories:

1. My friend bought C. trilineatus for me, which looks like this:

Right now I have some doubts, so my question is: Is it really C. trilineatus?

2. I also got 7 C schultzi. 4 of them are "typical", but other 3 varies a bit. They have black dorsal fins and a bit different patterns on both sides of their bodies. Can anyone explain me these differences?

Sorry for photos quality.

The first one is C. retculatus and the other two are of C. leucomelas.
