    Hi BT,
    The one with the "black eye" is C.panda.
    The brownish one, i'm not too sure, but taking a stab in the dark, i'm gonna say C.Aenus. Just wait for the corydorus experts to ID them..[]

    Top picture looks like they could be Juvenile Brochis Splendens, bottom pic Corydoras venezuelan orange I think.
    Could you get some clearer pics?

    the 2 blurry looking ones around the panda seems very much like C. Sterbai, with orangy fins and spotted body.

    The other 2 brown ones, tho not sure, but i think not C.Aenus. C.Aenus should be more stouty. Anyway, the pics not too clear and seems like using blue light huh?

    With the large ray count, it should be a bronchis, probabbly a Brochris splendens (Common Brochis). Count the rays of the dorsal fin, if it has more than 11 rays to a max of 18 rays. Corydoras posses only 7 or 8 rays.
    Also there is another species called Brochis britskii (Giant Brochis), this one has an bony plate on the under-side of the head.


    It can grow to a max of about 9cm (for females) and about 7.5cm (for males) for the common brochis, and about 10+cm for the giant brochis...

    Hi all, currently what I can definitely ID of my cories are C.Sterbai, Panda and Albino. The rest I still hv no idea. Maybe to help, I got the cories from Seng Bros, so if u know their usual stock, perhaps it will be easier to ID.

    New pics of cories:

    Same as pic 1 above:


    Same as pic 2 above:


    New cory to ID 1:


    New cory to ID 2:


    BTW, all my cories can be seen in the following link:

    My Corydoras

    Thanks for all the help.

    Cheers

    hiyah

    it seems like it's a venezuelan orange (last pic from bottom, the one on the left).

    the one with the bar running on the dorsal, that's a zygatus (third pic from bottom in your gallery).

    fourth pic from bottom in your gallery looks like a paleatus, a peppered cory

    hope that helps.

    cheers

    I am almost positive you have Brochis Splendens, much better pic for ID.
    The others look like thay have been ID'd correctly.
