Which cory is this?

Post by nj2tou »

I thought it might be an ornatus, but it has more spots than lines. The body is slightly gold colored and there is a gold stripe in front of the gills behind the eyes. The coloring doesn't show up well in my crappy photo.

It looks a lot like the one in this picture. I didn't realize that they had a lyre tail until I took another look at it a few minutes ago. What do you guys think? I'll try and get a better picture of them. I got two.

I can't give a confirmed ID, but i 'll guess it's agassizi or ambiacus., which usually is pretty close in body marking.
