ID: Corydoras melanistius?

Post by RoseFishWatcher »

Hi hi!

I'd like to check that I ID'd my cories correctly. I have only 2, and want more, but want to make sure I get more of the same kind. I think they are Corydoras melanistius, but there were a few others in the Cat-elog that were similar looking.

These are the best pictures I have of them, I sharpened and brightened the pics a little to make them easier to see.

Thanks in advance.
