He may be stunted. I'm not sure, but that is very small for a full grown peppered, which he is. Dunno, but I am so glad he is happy!
oh don't you worry, he has 9 cory buddies in the tank with him now - 4 bronze, 1 emerald, 2 albino, and 2 barbatus. me thinks he's claimed the emerald for his new wife already, lol!
he could be stunted. as far as i know his previous owner only had him, no other cories, and although i know he lived in a tank that was 20 something gallons (can't remember exactly the size prev owner said), i don't know what his diet was, he's approx a year old, and original source was her hubby's fishy friend. i have a hunch he most likely hid a lot due to having no other cories to keep him company and as a result may not have eaten enough, hence the small size.

I would say a peppered but like you said does it really matter if he's happy and healthy who cares what he is.
main reason i asked was because the previous owner didn't know and i told her i'd find out for her. and it is kinda nice to know what fish are in your own tank, lol!

my peppereds had a lot of irridescence on them too, I am willing to bet a dollar it's a peppered
(hands Dangerdoll a buck)
:laugh:
after more googling and looking at numerous photos, he is definitely looking 'peppery' to me. what threw me off initially was the size, he's so much smaller than the species profiles state for peppereds. and the iridescent splotchiness, it seemed way too vivid for a peppered.
