I'm sure they're called Corydoras aeneus. (Bronze corydoras)

And a 3rd, Bronze Cory.

Good fish though, a real work horse of a cat fish. Hard to spook, nice colours. They like being in groups of 4+, then you'll see their true behaviour. Randy little buggers ;)

I have the Albino variant,they are a great fish but you really need to keep them in groups to see there true character.
Mine like kipping in the java moss "Big Smile".

Cory's are brilliant fish, i would love a tank full of cories,khulli loaches and neons at some point lol,,,
Extremely hardy,,We had a couple before , one died and found it,and assumed the other died aswell,, Wasnt until we started to pack up for a house move,when i cleared the tank of fish,decor,etc and started shovelling out the sand with a kids spade,when the cory popped up out the sand,Not very well looking to be honest, but went on to have a nice life in a mates tank where i used to live,,,
Must have hidden in the sand to escape from a fish i suppose!!!

The albino strain is usually the peppered cory not the bronze, but how could anyone know the difference???!!! "Chessey"
