Maybe
Corydoras ambiacus
?

Why were these fish so expensive? They aren't (i think) particularly unusual...

I'm no Cory expert, but I don't think C. brevirostris - the snout on C. brevirostris is too rounded.

It's possible that they are: -

First pic. C157
Second pic. C103

But without knowing the catching locality it would be unwise to make a positive id.
