Hello:
A LFS sold these as pygmy cories from Rio Negro???????

I know these are not pygmeus, but not sure if they are an aspidoras species or young of something larger....
I have two pics here and hope they identify enough, but if I need to take more pics I can try....
thanks in advance for your help...

I think they are . Definitely not pygmy corys!

Thanks Jmho.....
I concur and thought that, but wanted to see what others thought.

you never know what the wholesalers send as labeled....
but I was surprised my LFS didn't realize it...
bottom line for the stores, is as long as they can sell them they don't really worry about it.

Your gain lol! We very rarely see any Aspidoras in my neck of the woods. I think I had one when I was younger, and now I have one lonely little . He is a fascinating little fish, always on the move, snatching food midwater, great scavenger. Blends in a little too well with the gravel sometimes!

They're Aspidoras pauciradiatus. I have some from Batfish Aquatics.
