Also get this from the same shop, I think it is Corydoras Atropersonatus, is it correct?

Thanks, I've actually browse through these 2 sites before posting. It resembles Corydoras pulcher but the dots pattern on the body is not uniform in straight line.

Also got a few of this, not sure about it's ID also
It has a nice dark blue coloration from head to almost 3/5 of the body and then gradually turn Yellow towards the tail. Very very active...

I would say that the cory in the second picture is an atropersonata. I bought 6 or 7 of them from Frank Falcone a while back and they look identical to yours. Good luck with it.

The one on the third picture almost looks like an emerald cory.
You could try calling the store that you bought them from and have them check there supplier to see what they ship out. This may help you to narrow down an identification.

I actually ask when I purchase, but no one seems to know. Anyway, will drop by again to ask...

Brochis have a more elongated snout than Aeneus Corys. The third fish doesn't seem to have it, although the angle could be better.

I put my vote on Emerald Cory for this little guy. He doesn't look like he's doing so hot though :(

The one in the third photo (photo above) is Corydoras concolor. An uncommon but still regularly available cory. Not sure about the first one.

The one in the first pic looks like Corydoras agassizii to me. Possibly cross bred.

I've search images of Corydoras agassizii, comparing it to the first one, it lacks the yellow coloration on the head and the dark coloration on the dorsal fin is not that visible. Also the doted pattern on the body are more irrgular in my cory compared to the images of corydoras agassizii.

It's quite hard to get a nice photo of it as they have been very very active and swimming around

Internet images of some cories are not accurate at all. I have 7 Agassizii cories and they look like the 1st photo. I bought them from a well-known cory breeder.

Great find!
