@Coryfan: Thank you very much, I do like the
g one myself!

Someone told me the females are much bigger than the males, do you find this to be the case? My dominant male is the largest fish out of the 6 I have, and I fear that I may have all males. They seem to get "fat" in the lower belly region, not on the sides of the fish as I've experienced with other cory sp. females. Not quite sure, but I may need to expand the group a bit if I want to ever see any eggs.
@rmc: Cheers, these are still on the young side of adulthood but this males is definently larger(longer at least) than the females. The females have however slightly rounder bellies like you said but nothing near the difference seen in some other species. They are all very bulky compared to other species which are easier to sex.
Like said the females are slightly rounder, the dorsal fin seems to be an other indicator. Even though both sexes have
developed a "hi-fin" the males fins are longer.
It is interesting how your dominant male is the largest too, perhaps their social structure differ somewhat compared to some other Corydoras which could explain the high dorsal?
I do think these fish have a bit more growing to do and there is a possibility that the females will outgrow the males in time. I would not be surprised if you have females among yours and that just need a bit more time as i still have a couple of individuals in my group that have not shown any clear indications of sex yet.
