Size 50mm or 2" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp.
Identification C.rabauti is quite a chunky fish and in good condition is a deep rust colour with well coloured fins and spines.There is a broad dark line that bends downwards at the caudal peduncle and there is a faint hint of it extending onto the caudal fin, this same line can have a slight shine in good light but never as much as C. zygatus with which it is often confused.
Sexing Males are smaller and slimmer. Females grow larger and are much wider which can most easily be observed from above.
General Remarks Active during the day and, for a Cory, not shy.
