Howfie_03 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I rescued a super neglected 20 long today and these 2 corys and some other fish I can identify were in it. They’re vastly different in size but look similar. Anyone know what these are? I want to rehome them to someone with a school already but don’t know what to call them in my local groups. edit to add: they’re currently in a quarantine tank while I breakdown the 20 long to start over.

Could it be a bronze cory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have the bronze sheen that I can see anyway. Do the two photos look like the same type of Cory to you? The first picture is easily double the size of the second fish but I think they look the same otherwise? She swears all the fish have been there for over a year so it’s not like one is a baby or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess the larger one is female and the smaller one is male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize they got so big and could be such vastly different sizes. Hopefully I can find someone who wants to give them a good home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Kind of looks like mine in terms of the pattern / shape. Not mine in particular, but simply that it's similar patterning. These are the normal form of mine.... aka "Gold Flash" or "Gold Stripe" Corydoras. You're looking at something from Lineage 7 I think. This one is Aenus for comparison, where that black band across the side is a little bit narrowed:https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?task=&species_id=51 Given that feature, as well as other chiming in that's a pretty solid ID for me. It also looks a bit like this one, but the mouth is a different shape. Edited January 8, 2023 by nabokovfan87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan1973 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I have 4 of these plus a multitude of juveniles. They are Bronze Corydora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomicfish Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It looks kinda like the Cory that I have the Emerald Green Cory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
