Not a C Leopard(aka Juli) ?
----------------
Loupgarou's ID is spot on.
Corydoras leopardus has a sharper snout. Corydoras Julii has dots on their forehead and body markings. Corydoras Trilineatus has reticulated markings on their forehead and sometimes very visible vertical markings on their body. Most of the shops have Corydoras Trilineatus and they are price from S$0.70 to S$4.50. The other two are rarely seen.
In case you are interested, Tiong Bahru Market has some Corydoras julii at the moment and they are retailing for about S$8 to S$10 each. Corydoras leopardus can be seen at Gan's Fish Farm. They have 2 sample pieces and will probably be withdrawn from their show tank by this weekend to make way for their Apistos.
It's good to see that you have rounded gravel for these beauties. Most aquarist only add cories as an afterthought to clear up the substrate and sharp gravel can damage their bellies and barbels.
By the way, very good pictures!
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
