BFM, are you sure they're brochis? they really look like C. aeneus (bronze corys). IIRC, brochis have longer snouts and thicker bodies than corys. Brochis also have more dorsal fin rays than corys (10+ vs ~6-7). Yours looking like corys to me.

they were sold to me as emeralds and i've had a number of people say they are brochis. the photo is a tad off for colour, hue, and brightness, dang cellphone camera is a pos, lol.
although, after some googling i've found a number of photos that my cories look like under both bronze and emerald cory. now i'm confused........lol. and of course its the only time mine hide in the plants, right when i want to inspect them.......hahaha.

I only have shy loxozonas & a possible mellini (only male I think) right now.
Umbra- your corys are metae aka bandits, one of my favs.
Nice cats everybody!

I have 1 Trilineatus that I seldom see, and a pair of C. aeneus. I'd like to snag some Schwarzi or Sterbai or adolfoi or...

here's my two albinos i just picked up today. Humpty and Dumpty they got named, thanks to the kidlett lol, but the names suit them.
Some of the cory's that I currently have - albino cory's, panda cory's, paleatus long fin cory's and a cousin of the cory, aspidoras pauciradiatus which I hope to spawn in the near future.
I am currently breeding sterbai and have a group of black cories, a group of albino aeneus, and false julies. I have bred the albinos as well as the pygmy cory pygmaeus and have kept pandas in the past.
I currently have 4 adult orange laser corys and 12 adult and sub adult sterbaii corys (the sterbaii came from Mg, and keep my L046s and my L260s company). Here's an orange laser. Sorry, I don't have any pics of the sterbaii, but I will remedy that later today or tomorrow !
