What kind of corydoras is this?

[HelenBlomgren]

Hi! Bad photos but they run away when I get close (Just moved in). Can’t remember the latin name, I thought I’d try here first before going back. They are tiny little things. Any idea?

They look like sterbai corydoras to me

Perhaps difficult to see on the pictures but the fins are different.

Corydoras Julii I'd say.

 

[DoubleDutch]

Think they are Aspidoras pauciradiatus

100% Aspidoras

When I google they seem to have a ”line” along the body?

Ok! So not even a cory then?

There has been a reshuffle in names of Corys and related genus / species, so I even don't know at this moment hahaha.

Aspidoras pauciradiatus • Callichthyidae • Cat-eLog

To me they are still Aspidoras as they were that past decenia.

If they're available and affordable : Get them hahaha. Really great fishies which are on my wishlist.

Ok! So are they rare-ish?

They are rarish in a lot of countries.
Aspidoras are hardly for sell in my homecountry.

There are not a lot keepers here as well.
Coradee has some but don't know if it is this species.

Thanks for information!

Amazing never heard of these fish, love this forum and the wealth of knowledge people have here. I thought true julli didn't have the line down the side but these aspidoras do look different.

Hi, I’d agree with DoubleDutch on the ID.
I’ve kept Aspidoras C118 & raimundi (formerly C125 spilotus red) aspidoras aren’t often seen in Lfs which is a shame as like corys they’re a lovely little fish.

I hadn’t either! Great place this!

I'm also looking at them on my phone
