malevolentsparkle Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I just got home with 5 'green corys'. I had assumed that they were normal everyday corydoras but on closer research they only green cory that i can find is in fact Brochis splendens, and so not a cory at all. can anyone confirm this? is there an actual green corydora? I'm happy either way i just like having acurate identification of my fish cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 yeah. I have a dozen of them. They are brochis splendis, and also called the emerald cory / catfish. They are not a true corydoras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentsparkle Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 sweet as. that just means they grow a bit bigger. more catfish=good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 There is Corydoras sp. (Cw009) sometimes called a green cory, and C aeneus also called green cory or more commonly bronze cory - ah the perils of common names! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 The ones we have here - sold as green catfish on the list - not cory; is given the cory suffix in store. However occasionally the wholesale list lists them under a subsection of corys. The brochis splendis has 10-12 rays in the dorsal fin, and most cories have under 7.

malevolentsparkle Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 looks like p44s one. the Cw009 and C aeneus both look too skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
