Mrs Frog Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Can anyone tell me what type of fish these are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Top one looks like poorly coloured Bolivian Butterfly Rams http://www.aquariumlife.net/profiles/so ... 100050.asp The bottom is a Corydoras, possibly Schwartzi? http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... ies_id=293 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 They look like young rams and will colour up over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 They look like young rams and will colour up over time. They aren't young, they are runts - look at the size of they eyes relative to the body compared to the ones pictured in the link. Big eyes and small bodies mean that they aren't exactly best quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frog Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 The top fish will no doubt be poorly coloured at the moment as they had just been moved from there home in Blenheim and relocated to their new home in Rai Valley lol, I reckon they didn't like being moved.

curtur Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Cory is a Corydoras Schwartzi. Apparently they are wild caught and have not yet been captive bred - nice find. My two bolivian rams started off looking like yours above, big eyes and all, but have grown a bit and have coloured up very nicely. In a week or two and with some live/frozen food they will get some good colours in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
