redmare Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I got these cories like a year ago from the lfs, simply labelled “assorted cories”. Any idea what they might be? Not for breeding purposes or anything, simply my own curiosity. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanDogh Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Maybe Corydoras agassizii? Or maybe Corydoras melanistius... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisnobody Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 If I bought any fish as assorted, my default is they are hybrids. If you ever purchase assorted African cichlids, they are 100% hybrids almost always. So if it’s reference, then no worries, but if you plan on breeding, I wouldn’t let go of any of the fry unless you are certain that it is a pure species. This particular problem wrecked havoc through the rainbow fish world for quite a while until Gary Lange sorted things out a bit. Good luck with identification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
