what are the most hardy cory cat around 2-3"?

[gagaliya]

Looking for small cory cat that's very hard and not too sensitive to water conditions. I know panda cory is a favorite but they are not hardy at all and requires a mature tank.

What are some relative common cory cat with max size between 1-3", bottom dweller, that's hardy and easy to keep? here's a list to choose from:

I personally dont think one is hardier than anyother also max size for most corys is 2-3" so dont expect to find them that size for sale cheap

Some of the "fancy" corys are much more fragile than the standard cory. I have bronze corys in a high temp discus tank and they are thriving, they spawn every time I do a huge water change with slightly cooler water too. The snails, bristlenose and discus make short work of the eggs though.
