Your favourite Corydoras?

I like Corydoras hastatus when kept in species colony tanks. I think they adopted mimicry of common nondescript Tetras and they behave much like Tetras.
For a practical utilitarian dwarf Cory my favorite is C. habrosus which is also quite easy to breed.
I also like Corydoras C-121 but I have only been able to buy a group of 10 once and those did not live many years. They need really good water quality.
Mine spawned a few eggs but none resulted in any surviving fry.

. Easy to keep, impossible to breed.

You've mentioned already a few of my favourites such as C. pantanalensis and C. robineae and my favourite "snouty" C. orcesi. What about the sheer brawn of . is special to me as the first Cory I collected in the wild although I'd have to say my favourite "bullet-nose" is . I am oddly fond of as well.

I like Ian's answer the best, there's a sub-thread here - what is the most underrated cory...

Very hard to pick... Of what I am keeping at the moment, I would have to say .

Most underrated... I will give a shout to . How many people have this species as their first catfish, first cory cat and first catfish spawn?

On a side not... how do you get the species name to become a link to an image?

Corydoras adolfoi here also.

The way they act in the aquarium is to me unique of all the species I've had. They tend to sit there on display, rarely hiding. They are beautiful too, and then they are extremely good at not eating their own fry or eggs in a species tank. They can make a lot of babies without any interference exept the usual clean water and proper food.

Corydoras burgessi is just as beautifull, but the temper differs a bit, I think. Love those to though.

On beeing cute, I will for some reason say Corydoras similis and Corydoras bondi.

Corydoras Duplicareus and Corydoras Habrosus (love the little fellas), no doubt here.
