Yesterday I bought a group of 9 Cories from a retail shop. They were sold as C.kanei, and look very similar to some of the pics on the C.kanei profile on planet catfish. However, I now understand that C.kanei have much smaller spots (the first few planet catfish profile pics may be incorrect), and what I have are probably C048.
On closer inspection of my fish it may be more complicated still. Some seem to have a definite black line at the front of their dorsal fin, while others definitely don't have a black line.
Is there an idiots' guide to identifying spotted Cories that would help me?
I can post pics of some of my fish if that's the best way.
Many thanks,
Paul

Hi,
certainly no C. ambiacus, this is C 48 IMHO.
I guess you don't have info about their origin (river system9 ?!

Thanks sorry, the only info about origin is which shop they came from! I'm not even sure if they're wild.
I asked elsewhere as well and the consensus is C048 as you suggest.
They're currently playing happily with 6 melini and 5 burgessi

Hi! Mol_PMB 
I am very happy that I saw your post this evening about your Corydoras either Kanei or C048 because I have them too. They exactly look like your Corydoras that you post for ID them because I Really need to know as well, but I am NOT ready to post them yet at this time. I am trying to let them getting bigger or more mature, so I will try to take a nice and clear photos for posting later on. They are Wild from PERU, but I do NOT exactly know specific location. My fish distributor Only know from PERU for sure, but do not know specific location. They said like that to me. I have one of them he is already big or mature. His length is about 5+ cm. I have almost 20 of them and I Really love them all. You know that at the first time I thought some of them might be Corydoras Atropersonatus because I could NOT see the black line on their dorsal fin, but when I focused on them very carefully, I can slightly see the black line on them. I think that some of them still might be too young to show up the black lines. I think you will love them as me because they are different and very active.
I hope someone can help us soon because I Really need to know too. 
I will take some of my Corydoras' photos as soon as I am ready and post in here to ask more information about them too. Talk to you soon.
