great collection of corys you have there... where abouts in canada are u located.. i am curious because i have not seen any of those types in any of my lfs here in saskatoon.
Your fish look fine and healthy.
May I suggest some sort of cover ie plants, bogwood, caves etc. The fish will feel more secure and more likely to breed if they are mature. Mac.
What we anticipate seldom occurs. What we least expect generally happens.
I will get some good bogwood, but it is hard.
Because these guys are not common cories!! They are more actice and aggresive to each other!!
If you ever kept them before, you will know how different they are.
I need to provid lots of swim space for them, this is why i didn't put any thing to let them hide.
They are all happy and even know when I feed them.
I guess most of the time, they'd be hiding under the filters???
If this is so, then they'd need some places to hide from the lights, give them some room and they'd feel more at ease and may breed soon too.... try some fast growing plants for cover... and some moss for them to lay the eggs on....
Actually, you'd be surprised how often corydoras are found where there are no plants. I'd add floating plants or plants that grow above or into the tank to make it most like a natural situtation. That also means you should get fewer turf disputes; as mentioned above most long nose corys can get really quite territorial in that size of tank.
Floating plants might also unlock the door in terms of spawning sites too.

Mebbe you could see some breeding action soon...
Actually, most of time they swim and searching food by digging sand gravel, i will try to breed them during this winter.

Cool.... do note the water changes and also cover for the fishes when they want to lay eggs
