sharn Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 We have recently got some cories in at work and they are labelled as 'black sail cories' on the lists. Ive had a quick look through planet catfish and i really cant pick them out :lol: They are a light brown with darker small spots, a vertical black band running over their eye and have a black dorsal. There was also a faint dark line going from the bottom of the dorsal down to the anal fins (or there abouts) but this could have been stress from being moved (i drew a picture when they came in). Also are the arcuatus available (they were labelled as schwartz but theyre not)? Or would we be more likely to get the narcissus here? And one more question :lol: Columbian whips are Rineloricaria eigenmanni? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northland chic Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I have a feeling I bought my delphax under a name like that. Here is a link to the thread with a pic, hopefully it works: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/delpha ... 14675.html Do they look anything like it? Would be very interested if they did. Have still never found anymore. Thanks NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one more question :lol: Columbian whips are Rineloricaria eigenmanni? I recently owned some Corydoras brevirostris which I'm pretty sure were sold as black sail Cories. They are very similar to C. melanistius which are apparently sold as black sail Cories. http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_melanistius.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great looking cories. I used to have three of them. C. melanistius brevirostris is the same thing as C. brevirostris. It used to be known as a subspecies of C. melanistius but was later given full species status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
