Panda Cory - or Not?

[morfin]

Hi, We have three panda cory's two are together all the time and the third is usually on his own. he doesn't have the black on his tail like the other two and has little spots down his back - is it possible that he could be some sort of cross, or is he not a panda, or is he just a panda that looks different to the others? Have tried to attach photo so hopefully it works. The two at the front are different to the one at the back, any help gratefully accepted.

Could be a lightly marked C. adolfoi - they're more commonly available than the 3-4 others that look like it found here

Where'd you get them?

We got them from the local fish shop, but given that they had four other types of catfish and they didn't know which was which I have little faith

It's definitely not a panda. There are numerous types of cory with a black fin and eye mask. It's hard to guess which from your pic though. Check planetcatfish (http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=1) to browse images and try to ID him.

We searched, he's not a panda he's a spotted cory, poor little monkey - the others still don't want to play with him! Might have to get him some friends to make him feel better
