DebD Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 😲This is the 1st time I've seen this cory in this 40g. He must of hitched in as an egg on a plant or piece of decor in May when I was moving plants and decor into my 40g & given his size. He has somehow avoided detection until now, despite weekly water changes. 😲 The dark large dorsal got me curious. I thought there was a slim chance he could be a hybrid with axelrodi I had moved from the tank when my bandits started to breed. But there is nothing I've seen in the Ln9 line that comes close even if it's something from his parents line. I had noticed fry I grew out to sell/trade having darker dorsals since but they're gone now and am starting a new round of fry. I'm wondering if this could be a mutation ? Below are photos of him and his choice of parents. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Wow incredibly beautiful. It would be awesome if you could figure out how to get more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parents breed weekly. I throw out a lot of eggs. I currently have 2 small groups of fry growing out (1 & 2mo old) and there may be some just like him in his future 🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Wow, I can imagine how startling it would be to find a fish you didn't know was in the tank! He is sure cute. IDK anything about cory genetics so cannot guess at his parentage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrey Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I am just... wow! May you be able to identify the parents, and breed some more. The dorsal is stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell 🥰😁 Edited February 22, 2022 by DebD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
