@aotearoastylePanda cory would have a solid visible spot before its tail fin ,cant be a skunk cory or axelrodi as there is no solid line down the back behind the dorsal fin to the tail fin , arcutate has a solid dark curving band from its head to its tail ,corydoras robustus looks very similar

[aotearoastyle]

It looks just like Corydoras melanistius brevostris . I used to breed these in 1997

I had a albino corydoras earlier. It died because it got eaten by a huge scalare.

RazorWar360 You're not right about that the only species that was selectively bred is the "albino" corydoras.

[CarloMuller1992]

This probably is  corydoras melanistius melanistius. I have those in my own aquarium :)

Wild cory's are listed differently then our fish trade versions of the species. Selective breeding is what creates so many different varieties for the hobby and most are not found in the wild.
