Hi,

Please can i get an ID for my cory, it came in on import with some wild caught Corydoras Metae.

Thanks in advance

Sorry new to the forum, Picture below

It's definitely not a corydoras metae

It might be a Corydoras CW096 or CW097

Thanks for the reply Carolus, you could be right, would like to get a group of them if possible as its alone at the moment

certainly not, those two originate from southern Peru, Madre de Dios drainage. C. metae comes from Colombia.
IMHO it's an aeneus variant without any C or CW number.
CW096 is a member of the elegans group and therefore completely excluded.

Cheers,

Hi,
Thanks for the info, it did come from Colombia
Cool little guy anyway and is settling in well.

This fish looks very much like CW026, reportedly coming from Venezuela, but the exact location is not known.
For the record the genus name is Corydoras not Corydora. It is the same for multiple or single fish.

Hi Coryman, they do look a lot like this one, thanks for sharing
