Do you think they are young Corydoras aeneus - bronze/wild?
I personally believe they are Corydoras venezuelanus.
If not those, what do you think?
Just wanted to get other opinions

I do know from first hand experience that C. venezuelanus would interbreed/spawn with C. aeneus

Upon a search I have come across this thread of a similar look Cory ID.

Still not sure what to make of the species classification.
I personally would say C. venezuelanus is a separate species from C. aeneus, not just a locality variation of the same species, so I would say the two should not be kept together and/or interbred.

They look like bronze corys to me. The dark substrate makes corydoras aeneus go darker, meaning greener.

I concur with Corycory. You've got C. aeneus.
