Need help IDing a cory

[Siren]

Okay, so I'm not hugely familiar with cory species,. I mean, I can tell that it's a cory and that's about it....I think they will be in the next tank that I buy, but I need to know much more information first....

The one I saw at the LFS was most transparent (you could see some of it's organs), about 1 inch long, and it had an iridescent green patch behind it's eye, on the gill flap. No other colouring. Any ideas what it could be? A link to a species fact sheet would be really helpful too...thanks!

Hi,

A pic would really help. It sounds maybe like a Dwarf Cory or a Albino Cory.

Sounds like an albino cory to me...could be Corydoras aeneus or Corydoras paleatus.

Here's a care sheet for C. aeneus: http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/cory-aen.htm

Here's one on C. paleatus: http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/c_paleatus.htm. The 3rd picture on this site is of an albino.

Just in case it was a Corydoras hastatus, here's a site on them: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=324.

sounds like an albino to me too, but it could be dyed if it has green in it. do you have any pics?

Nope, no dye....it was the same green cast a betta has if it has a green wash.
dark eyes, so not an albino...checking the websites above. I'll let you know what I find.
