In the cloud of the spawned and raised c. aeneus juvies are 4 cories that look different. 2 of which I know the name for, but was wondering if anyone else had any experience with them. Just for fun I guess enjoy! Post your guess and if you have any tips on them!

In picture one and two-- the two with the strip are either Rabauti or Zygatus. You can only tell when young, they look the same as adults.
In picture one to the right the cory with the spot near the tail is either Caudimaculatus or Panda. Looks like Caudimaculatus.

None of your cories are Pandas but the greenish ones look like emerald cories and the others 2 look like bronzes sorry don't know latin names and might be wrong.

Goodjob Tanker! for hitting it right on the nail with 2 Zygatus and 1 panda. Does anyone have any exprience with the c. Zygatus?? As for the bottom two pics I think they're just some random c. aenues cories. Not sure but I rescued the big fat one from walmart, when I got her she had already lost most of her fins to tiger barbs and I got the male oddball just so she would have a friend.

Many years ago my "other" 100gal had almost all corys. Had a small school of Zygatus (3-4), they where like all other corys. Schooled with my others corys, loved tubiflex and white worms, Tetra Tips, ect.

Rabauti or Zygatus have both been bred commercially. They look different when young. They breed like Aenues, ect. Scatter lots eggs in clumps.
