It's amazing how things turn out... for years I've been keeping my eye out a cory species I really fell in love with, and never had one quite do it for me...
Then, I buy this guys setup entirely for the equipment and here it comes with a Cory species that I can really sink my teeth into...so to speak.
I mean, the 5 Discus, 4 Cardinals, RCS, and Amano shrimp that also came with the equipment made the deal that much sweeter.

I have been corrected:
It's Corydoras trilineatus

A friend in the local plant club pointed out that mine has a spot on it's dorsal fin, whereas the C. sodalis does not...but C. trilineatus aka "Leopard Cory" does.
