Just thought I'd share the newest members of the cleanup crew :) These guys are actually in my SA tank, to keep my one remaining cory company. I really like them actually...the store called them Emerald cories, but I haven't looked up to find their species name yet. They're big, too...about 3" each.

Thanks all. I'm not sure how big they get, as I haven't done any research on them so far...I'll get back to you though :) They're really neat though, I'm fond of them already.
 
So after doing some quick research, turns out these guys aren't actually corydoras at all. They're closely related for sure, but they are actually Brochis splendens. From what I've read, max size can be between 3" and 4" - so mine are likely full grown already.
 
Cories have always been one of my favorites. I haven't kept them since I've broken down my smaller setups. Nice ones! Makes me want to set at least one up again.

Lovely emeralds. I had 4 but they were always picked on by my cons. Don't know why but they just picked on them. I felt bad.
