Looks like a C. aeneus but......

Post by wild-tiger »

I have 3 of these and a friend of mine has recently purchased some as well, although he's in the UK. They are shaped like a bronze and the size is the same but the coloration is wrong. No sheen or green and the older they get the more pronounced and dark the stripe gets. Can someone please id this cory?

Hi!

I am not quite sure it is
I think they are instead

If you look closesly the "green line" stop at the junction of the upper and lower plates near the caudal pedoncle which is typical for C. zygatus.

In C. rabauti the green line stop at the lower base of the caudal pedoncle

cheers
