Is this atropersonatus or kanei or?

Post by kim m »

I bought these cories as Corydoras atropersonatus, but I'm getting the idea that they are something else...
As far as I'm told, atropersonatis has fewer spots tan "my" fish, and "my" fish also has some dark colouring in the first few rays of the dorsal fin, wich the atropersonatus shouldn't...I'm getting a bit confused :?:
Any guesses?

I've found something in the FAQ about inserting pics...
I find it a bit strange that I can only insert pics that are already on the internet?

I think it is closer to C. kanei than C. atropersonatus.

Thank you Dave :) how did you do that with the links?

...Ian; my thought as well...If I call them Corydoras cf. kanei I'm not far off then?

After viewing these pics I'm 99% convinced that it's the kanei and not the atropersonatus I've got...

Not a spitting image, but I surely agree, that Kanei is the closest.

I am curious, did You get Yours through the danish "Corydoras-klubben"?
Or maybe You bought them at Avifauna very recent?

Hi Allan, Ian, David, etc., thank you for contributing :) I'll call it a kanei look-a-like then...it's the closest thing...

Allan, I didn't buy them at Avifauna or at Corydorasklubben, I found them at a small LFS. By the way, corydorasklubben is not worth the money... :evil: ...just my opinion...

Just thought I'd reply to the off-topic of "Why can't I just post the pictures that are on my computer".

So this is a problem that is split into two parts:
A picture that is to be viewable to others on the web needs to be on a web-server. This can be ANY web-server in the world, but I'm pretty sure your PC isn't a web-server. If it is, you can just use that machine. But if isn't, then you need to transfer the picture to a web-server somewhere, because that's how your web-browser will "get" the picture to the viewers computer.

Next question is of course "Why can't we just upload the image to the web-server that is serving PlanetCatfish itself". From a purely technical perspective, there's nothing preventing this. I know of other web-forum's that allow this sort of picture upload. There are however some problems with this. The most obvious one is server space. Planet Catfish is run by Jools on a web-server that he has to pay for the usage of. More web-space cost more money, and pictures stored on the web-server will take up much more space than text. (A small image is a few hundred kilobytes, which corresponds to about 50 A4/Letter-size pages of written text). It doesn't take a lot of small images to fill a web-server.

Since there are plenty of different places you can upload pictures to for free, I don't see why Jools should spend his money to supply this service simply because it's making a few users life a little bit easier.
