Reticulatis or Sodalis

Post by wng95 »

Can anyone help here ? I bought these Corys as C. Reticulatus, but any pics. I have seen of them have a black blotch on the dorsal. Looking at the Aqualog of All Corydoras they look more like C. Sodalis. Are they just a varient of C. Reticulatus or something different?
Thanks in advance.... William

I can't see these images, but if they do not have a large black spot in the dossal but are otherwise reticulated then they are C. sodalis.

True. C. reticulatus has a large regular black blotch in the dorsal fin

Thanks for the help guys. So we believe I've got C Sodalis. Is this a more rarer and sought after fish or is it becoming more easier available these days as this is the first time I have came across them. And the age old question, are they easy to keep and breed.
Thanks again....William....
