ID of 4 Cory species

Post by certan »

Although I have some estimations about the cories that I have bought recently, I need to be sure about their ID, so I wanted to have your opinion about them. Any suggestion about these 4 cories would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1- LFS said these were wild caught. I think they are C. napoensis.

2- LFS said these were wild caught. I think they are C. delphax.

3- LFS said these were wild caught. I think they are C. melini.

4- LFS said these were tank bred juvenile Sterbai. I think that is right.

The identification of your 4 Corys is correct. The sterbai does not look very well, however.

I also think all of them are correctly identified. Your sterbai must be a juvenil.

Thank you all for the ID confirmations.
And yes, Jorge. The sterbas are juveniles (there are actually 5 of them).
