Is there a way to tell an adolph's from a panda cory? An easy way would be lovely, if there is one.

They both have black masks, while the panda has a black band by the tail and the Adolf has a black line down his spine, as well as a bit of orange on the head.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. One of my books shows one adolph's with the black at its tail, and another without. This is a pretty good book (The Complete Aquarium, by Peter W. Scott), so I was wondering if the marking were consistant for the species, making the book in error.
Has anyone seen adolph's with a black tail marking?

So you all think my book is wrong?

They may have just printed the wrong picture. It happens. Another idea may be if it is an older book they may have been reclassified.

It is not very old, but I bet that you are right. Thanks
