ID: Cory

Hello,

Can someone please help to identify this cory?

Cheers

Most likely to be a Corydoras surinamensis. A more detailed side profile will help.

Anyway, where did you get it from?

Thanks Benny.
I'll try take another pic tomorrow. Tank lights off now.
I got it from a good person who's got loads of cories.. You should know each other.
Its my last cory standing from him .

hmm....where do I begin?

In any case, enjoy your corydoras! They are adorable creatures!

Quick question.

Since poor water circulation encourages algae (and BBA too?), having corydoras as the bottom swimmers, should circulate the water column near the substrate more, hence reduce changes of 'stagnant' water?

Everytime I see my cories dig on the substrate, I have this idea they're helping to circulate the water.

I have 8 pygmy cories and the little fella in the pic in my 3footer now, with the angels.
Should I get more to encourage them to school?

With regards to the ID, I might differ to what Benny said. It is most probably C. brevirostris. Whatever it is, it is a cute fella and don't bother so much about ID. Its already mind-boggling enough to actually collect all the known species, let alone identify them positively.

I concur with Stormhawk, Corydoras brevirostris.
