What kind of Cory is this?

[FishyMamma]

I adopted this lone catfish along with a school of Platies from a neighbor when I purchased his 29gal. tank.

Is it an Emerald? Something else? Once ID'd I'll get him some friends. He spent two weeks in my 14gal. QT and is loving his new 55gal.!



After hiding for a few hours after being transferred, he came out and has been swimming with Cory joy ever since.

Looks like a bronze, britski, or ampa

Check out http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/identification/SpeciesList.php?genus=Corydoras for more options it could be.

Thank you, Trainer_Ruby_! You're right, could be a different Cory. I need to get a better pic and do some more research.

Thank you so much.

It's definitely c. aeunus. It doesn't look quite right for brochis britskii and c. amapaensis has a lighter body color and black mask.

It looks like an Emerald Green Cory to me. I've had them before.

Definitely looks like an emerald. I have 5 of them myself.
