My Cory

[Wateveryousay]

I bought a cory at petco today and they didnt know what kind he was. He wont let me photograph him but he is brown on his back and sides and white on his belly with kind of luminescent green on the sides of his head. Does anyone know his species?

are there any dark spots on his back?, perhaps a peppered cory?

check this link out...

No spots and that link doesnt work.... any other ideas?

awww you needed to bring home some mates for him to. they do not do well with out family around them. I got 5 so they had play mates.

Oh yea i was but i didnt have enough money for playmates yet.

The luminescent green sounds like bronze (aeneus). http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/freshwater/catfish/bronzecory.html

Thats probably him but hes a baby and those are adults so im just assuming.

babies look the same.

Then what species is it? Can someone put some species pictures in and i can chose because the little booger wont let me get the camera close enough to him for photography

i'm sure its a bronze cory if it has green on it. petco has a pretty standard fish selection.
