Can anyone ID this fish? Arched back. 4 inches long. Massive. The pics are deceptive. He is huge.
Thank you

I have a dead one in another container. I have a tape measure. They are 4 inches. If I could upload another picture, I have him beside a regular sized Cory. Geez.
I am trying to ID him because I need a companion for the one left.
I am 53 yrs old. I know how big 4 inches is.

Stunted makes the body stop growing but the insides and BONES keep growing. So in this case I think that it was stunted and the back bones kept growing thus ending up with the high arched back. No such thing as a jumbo cory, they are just cory's that have grown a bit bigger then the other cory's for sale and they label them as "jumbo" to make more money. I once bough a jumbo cory, and a few months later my other cory's were as big as him.

He dosen't have enough rays on his dorsal fin to be Brochis Splendens. It looks like a plain old Cory dorsal fin. Could he be a hybrid? Instead of saying "Huge" a real measurement would be more helpful.

I take that back. On google search in images, look at brochis splendens and there are some that have shorter dorsels. Some are more green, some more silver. So--- maybe. Either way it is a cool and perfectly content looking little fish.

He did give a real measurement, 4 inches. And then he also showed a picture of it by a measuring tape. And it has been solved, sorry but you're to late.

This one and a companion were abandoned and we adopted them. They were exactly alike. Both were the same size and both had the arched back.
We went around to 3 fish stores today and concluded they are peppered. I am hoping the one remaining schools with the new littler ones.
