Yanni Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 That looks like a female cory to me. It is quite big and its ventral fin is also round, not pointy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Generally it is easier to identify from a top view or a bottom view, but I am leaning towards female on this one. It seems to be a bit bigger and wider, especially towards the abdomen, so I would say female. How long is is from head to tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Females are always larger than males. Are there any other cories in the tank for comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Thank you for asking I was wondering the same thing. I have albinos Corydoras myself and the size variation were very surprising to me. Now I understand them better.

I got a surprise while cleaning the tank today and found a baby. It never occurred to me that I had both Male and Female until today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
