Aw, they look so cute...What are the dimensions of a 39g bowfront? I tried to google but didn't get a size. With bottom feeders it's all about floor space & surface area vs body mass..I think you did right adding a couple more. What else did you add?
I have info for you......Good news, and bad news.
Bad news---Those are no Brochis. They are Corys. Corydoras Aeneus to be exact.
Good News---They are smaller then Brochis, so they fit better in your tank.
Wow...just wow. After counting the dorsal rays I think you are right, they are not B.Splenden. I hope the 2 new ones are also C.aeneus...i kind of just blindly trusted petco that they where Brochis. Oh well...atleast they won't get as big. And as for the other fish I added 2 gold white cloud minnow to my school bumping it up to 8. Also added a dwarf neon gourami.
Thanks a lot tanker, I should have caught that earlier. The good news is all the corys seem happy. Some of the new fish I got are tiny, I'm assuming just young. They make my other fish look big.
I know old thread and that kind of stuffies, my mom and pop lfs sells c.aeneus and venezuelans. These look exactly like venezuelans not c.aeneus, but as i said these two species are exactly looking the same, but only i have found that c.aeneus are palerin colour when at the store.
