Congrats DP! You'll love them. I have the pygmaeus and really enjoy them!

Wow... Thankfully I've never encountered that at my local LFS (probably because they never have anything remotely close to that cool), but its hard to see how they could even manage to confuse the two. Regardless, I hope you enjoy them DP, don't forget to post pics once they settle in.

I agree they are hard to mistake for a habrosus. These are hastatus

The stuff that looks like gravel in this extreme closeup is a fairly fine grained sand that is less than 0.5 mm in diameter.

This is a picture I just took of my habrosus. I have no idea how you could confuse them except on purpose.

I've seen pygmys labelled hastatus but coryrus has a good reputation so you should be good. They are super cute, I'm excited for you!

I wish I could find some fairly priced hastatus. They're my favorite cory! My lfs sells pygmaeus labeled as hastatus. I've tried to tell him they're not hastatus, but he says that's what his distributors call them. He charges 1.25 ea. for pygmaeus, so I have a school of them instead. They're (almost) as pretty and just as cute in personality as hastatus!
