Found this one in my lank, may be have got it with plants.
It is around 1+ cm long, spots on sides

Need a better pic please, can't tell a thing on this one

A better pic would be needed for a positive ID, but you can start comparing to or . The latter being pretty easy to spawn, so there's a good chance it's eggs were in the plants you picked up. The former is a dwarf species and could have been hiding in the plants when they were picked.

My one is closer to Corydoras habrosus and it behave as an adult, so may be it is dwarf cory.
Can they cross breed with lazer green cory?
Currently I have breeding group of them in this tank, wan to avoid cross breeding.

Better pictures

Any chance on better resolution or quality. IMO, that's not a Cory. I'm not familiar enough with other Calycthidae, so maybe someone else will be able to help

It's a juvenile corydoras. Probably an aeneus or close relative.

I lean towards that little guy being a Corydoras paleatus because of it's large dorsal fin, stretched body and mottled color pattern.
C. habrosus fry tend towards a stockier build although their fry are just about the same size at hatching as most of the non-dwarf species.

I go with Paleatus !

Thanks everyone.
Looks like it is my Laser Green fry.
Have more of them now.
They are loosing dots and getting green stripe later.
