Last night I bought a cory that looks just like my Leucomelas, except for her spot pattern. My first fish has very dark, obvious spots like the pictures in the Cat-a-log, but this new one has tiny pinpricks of black all over her, almost unnoticeable. I've looked at the Cat-a-log, but nothing else really looks like her. Other than that, she has the same dark eye patch and black blotch on a pointy dorsal. She is also just a tiny bit bigger than my first fish, so I don't think she's "growing into" her spots. Is this a Leucomelas or something else?

Edit: In looking at her again, her black blotch extends up the dorsal spine area and is more diamond-shaped, while it is more of a small square-shaped blotch on my other fish. This one's fin is higher-looking as well. (Maybe it really is just a Leucomelas and I'm looking too much into this. )

Corydoras ambiacus looks similar to leucomelas. Have a look at it in the Cat-eLog.

Thanks, but it's not that little fishie. The spots are unnoticeable until you get up close and see that she is covered with tiny, tiny little spots.

How does this one match up?

Corydoras melanistius

Oh, perfect! I must have missed that one from the Cat-a-log. Thank you! That's just what she looks like.
