Scientific Name | Corydoras (lineage 7) sp. (Cw014) |
Common Names | CW014, Red Stripe Cory CW023, Orange Stripe Cory, Orangestribet Pansermalle (Denmark) |
Pronunciation | kor ee doh rass (lineage seven). |
Etymology | Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. |
Species Information | |
Identification | CW014 (red stripe) was determined on specimens that had been kept over black substrate, which darkened the fish giving them a red stripe. Over normal, lighter, substrate the stripe is orange (CW023). This was only discovered after the CW numbers were issued. We know now, CW014 = CW023. These are not the same and should not be confused with CW010, the 'gold laser'. |
Sexing | Males are smaller and slimmer. Females grow larger and are much wider which can most easily be observed from above. |
