Nice fish!
What kind of loaches are in the 2nd pic? How big do they get? They look pretty cool in a school.

That 3rd catfish down, the Corydora.. Is a "JUMBO" Corydora!! They grow to be 6"!!!!! Who needs clown loaches when you can have a school of massive Corydoras!! Ohhhh how I would love to see a school of these big boys in a monster tank with Rays and other fish!

Those are Emerald Green Corydoras, Brochis Splendens.. They shimmer brightly and are super active in a huge school! We have 50+ in the tank, and they look awesome!
Those Brochis splendens do great in shoals and display more daring and a higher activity level when in groups. They spawn readily in captivity. The best thing is they grow to double the size of a cory cat.

Hey Oddball.. Do you know the scientific name of the 'Jumbo' corys..? Are those the Brochis Splendens your speaking of that grow to 6"? Perhaps there is some confusion.. What is the sci name for both the Emerald Cory and the Jumbo Cory? Just want to get this straight..
Miles, the giant cories look like they might be brochis multiradiatus. The only thing that doesn't fit is the max size. All the references I see on the brochis sp. is that they top out at a little over 3". Perhaps these are an as yet unidentified brochis species or a local population that happens to grow substantially larger. Be interesting to find out.
