Hi All,
At a LFS today, mixed in a tank filled with lots of , I found seven very large (for their species) elongate bronze corys (or "green gold corys"), . I hesitated to buy them because they look a lot like aeneus, but I was struck by the brilliant yellow-green fins they had, so I brought them home.
Here's a short video showing the fish in quarantine, and with descriptions of how I thought they differed from common bronze corys. Enjoy.
Cheers, Eric

Re: Found seven melanotaenia corys at the LFS
Very nice fish, coincidently saw some at Wholesale Tropicals in London last weekend. First time I have seen these in U.K. for many months.
