Bought several cory, all sold to me as elegans but obviously not all elegans. There are at least two maybe three types of cory in the batch. They originated here (not where I bought them): 'Ornamental amazon fish aquarium sac' and we can use their stock pics to help id. I suspect some pics were taken from Planetcatfish. Click on 'Live Tropical Fish' then 'Total Fish List' then 'coridoras' 'photos and list'. What I bought should be on their list! All are wild caught, Ucayali River, Peru.
Here are the pics I took:

Mostly grey in color.

Spots as opposed to the following vermiculated pattern

Leopardus??

C102 The first one, the second is C. elegans. The third one is difficult, it could just be a variant of the C102. I would need a clearer profile image to make a positive id.

Thanks coryman. The 1st, 4th and fifth are the same fish types. The 'spotted' one I was thinking triliniatus. Yes could be cross also but have seen pics closely resembling that. More research in my close future lol
Regardless, for what I paid for them I can't go wrong!

MODS!!! Thanks for the helping hand :) tags...tags...tags!!!
