can anyone help me identify my cory?

[dieanna]

I've had this cory since I started my tank. I recently got a skunk cory and started wondering what kind of cory the older one was. I went searching on the net to see if I could find out. I looked at all different kinds and found a few different types that were similar, but had a hard time trying to figure out which one he is. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify him (or her, not too sure about that either). This is the best pic I could get of him. Any ideas?

The peppered cory lookes very similar. My cory has faint spots on his fins. Also he has a black stripe up the front of his doral fin. He has a couple dark spots on the top of his body like the peppered cory, but he also has a couple through the middle of his body. I wish I could get a better pic. I'll try again.

even with that description, I still think it is a peppered cory only because their spotted patterns are not regular and can very greatly

I was just looking at a bunch of peppered cory photos. You're absolutely right. He's a peppered cory. Thanks guys! Kudos to all!
