Small Corys that prefer/ don't mind a strong current

Hi,

I'm currently setting up a new tank for some small pleco's (1 or 2) that prefer a strong current. The tank has sand in it, some leaves, a fair amount of wood and is filtered over turf. The tank has only a few plants. The size is 100x40x40cm at 26C.

Now I'm considering putting a small cory species in there so I can keep a relatively large group. I'm thinking about the habrosus, but I read in the catalogue that they don't prefer a strong current.

Are there any small corys that prefer or don't mind a strong current in the tank?

What I mean with "strong current" is one (or maybe two) hydor koralia nano 1600 L/h, combined with an external filter that returns via a spray bar.

Thanks!

Almost any of the Aspidoras would enjoy the current.
