cory photos for sexing/species ID?

Post by j4782 »

here's a link to my photobucket album because the pics are bigger than I thought :razz:

I bought 5 of my 6 cories as c. aeneaus, but there's one I'm not sure about: it's the biggest regular cory. I hope the photos are clear enough!

Thanks!

Although your photos are not that clear you do have both male and female aeneus. You should also check the sticky regarding sexing corys.

cool. thanks! :)

Unfortunately, I'm not very good at spotting differences. I have an older book with pictures of 5 corydoras species (Catfish & Loaches by Pool & Loiselle, 1993) that look very much alike to me.

Also, as you can tell, I'm not very good at capturing pictures of my cories to help with the identification.
