  1. looks like little leopard cory cats

    gender who knows?


  2. everybody knows its a corydoras. but the question is, which? that is a three lined cory, corydoras trilineatus. http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishind...

    most female cories are wider when viewed from above. for this to work, you have to have several well-fed specimens to compare

    sorry for the typo earlier.

    females are wider, males are slimmer. and trilineatus and julii look almost identical.

    your picture is not that clear so maybe you should take a look at this

  3. they are corydorus juili and they are very difficult to s*x at the mo easier when adult and also difficult to breed if u wanted to as most of the males are infertile

  4. I happen to know exactly what those little guys are. They are Corydoras or Cory Cats. We have a ton of them here, this are of the striped variety they also come in green (but I think they actually call it bronze), black, albino & I'm sure even more. They are great fish to have they help keep the tank clean, won't get a whole lot bigger, are very hardy and live for a pretty long time. Good luck with your fish! If you have any other questions I may be able to help you with regarding them please feel free to e-mail me.

  5. I'd guess it's a Julii Cory (Corydoras julii).  Females will be a bit wider when viewed from above, while males tend to be more of a "T" shape.  Sexing from this angle would be impossible.

    EDIT: You have to wait 4 hours after the question is asked to decide it.  Also, there are literally dozens of species of Corydoras, and 2 genera that describe "Cory Cats".  I'm sorry, but Melanis was far from best...  At least give it to Spongebob up there who was actually specific in identifying that it was a Leopard Cory (AKA Julii Cory).

  6. The link doesnt work. Make sure you paste the WHOLE link before posting it. Include the http:// that comes before the www.

    EDIT: It is a spotted cory catfish. they get about 3 inches long. Females grow rounder then males tend to grow. Also, because of their rounded bellies, when they rest their noses usually don't touch the ground

    That is about the only way to physically s*x them

  7. picture is invalid..

    when posting a link copy the entire link and paste it. i think that you typed that and that is the reason it didnt show.

  8. those are lepoard corydas theyre like catfishes. its probably a male.
