Gino Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Hi fellow fish nerds! In an LFS I came across this weird looking cory, see picture below. It looks to be an albino C. aeneus but with a mottled pattern on top, so to speak. Have any of you seen this before in corydoras? 😮 Makes me wonder: could the mechanism behind this be comparable to what we see in the genetics of goldfish? Goldfish generally can be classified as being metallic (= shiny scales), matte, or nacreous, which is a mosaic of metallic and matte. I wonder if the same thing could be going on with this cory. I must say I'm tempted to buy it. 😄 Edited September 28, 2022 by Gino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
