Bought Some Cory's Today.....

I'm going to say "no" to metae as well. Too small an eye stripe, and the black on the dorsal fin is backwards compared to metae. Also, as far as I can tell from the pics, no gold on the cheeks. Most similar (indeed, almost identical) cories have golden cheeks.

Needless to say, I've searched the planetcatfish list thoroughly.

I did the same thing and I couldn't come up with the right mix. I guess it will just remain a mystery!:shakehead:

Nice pics.

I think we're getting confused over which corys each of us is talking about, LOL. It's more confusing since not all the pics are visible to everyone.

Cali has 2 different fish that don't look like julii or schwartzi to me but I really can't tell what exactly they might be. You could try posting pics over at planetcatfish. Try for some more pics.

jen also has 2 different corys, a metae, old Herman (aka red x) & a new panda.

Good thing all corys are cute.

Nice cory cats.

Fishorama, I was reffering to Herman.

So I've been doing some research and still no answers. I registered with planet catfish, but I have not received my confirmation email. If this place can't help me, who can?

IMO - it doesn't matter what the LFS calls 'em, you should either get several more (what I'd do, as they're *something* unusual at what I'd call a good price) or return what you have and look for a new fish source.

FWIW, I went throught the exact same ordeal w/ a LFS by me (You have these C. trilineatus marked as C. julii // Julii is what I ordered, so that's what they are // No, they aren't - see these pictures....) all in vain. It isn't generally worth arguing for too long.

it is true that you dont need all of the same kind to make cories happy. just get several that you like and add water

Maybe they are C. melanistius melanistius?

Or maybe C. Punctatus Punctatus?
