Well, all I can say is that the various species of Corydoras I've collected in the wild none were living on pea gravel. Or, for that matter, were there very many plants around (in the water) there were plenty shading it. Having said that I have found them living over rock chip gravel so sharp I coul...

I would avoid C. adolfoi unless you are buying tank raised ones acclimatized to neutral pH. Wild ones will not enjoy the experience. C. trilineatus (what you are calling C. julii) are a good bet, and maybe 10 would be really good in your tank. Maybe a few less if you go for C. sterbai as they are a ...

I don't think it would be too hard to put a link to the chatroom in the forum link cluster and put (at the bottom of the posts) whos in the chatroom. To be honest though, I'm not all that fussed about chatroom use.

Try a search on or look up Corydoras paleatus, this is a very common on fish and it is more likely to be what you have, especially if "cambs" = Cambridgeshire.

Synodontis serpentis did cross my mind as I looked tat the photo in Sand's book. The extremely rugose head kinda threw me off, though. Is this something that could develop with age?

Yes, some plecos eat from the outside in and others from the inside out. The skin is often eaten and I find it helps keep the food together as the fish work on it.

Would it not be possible to use the http://www.milonic.co.uk/ one as a floating horizontal menu? It's not floating, it's static, so how you make it float?

I think the floating menu is the way forward, but I haven't found a horizontal cross platform implementation of it.

Probably around 200mm SL. That said, I have not seen one that big, it's just a guess based on other similar species.

I thought it was the other way around. The snouts are not acute enough to be C. delphax and they should be C. melanistius instead. Yes, I meant not "snouty" enough. Also, we should consider than more than one species might be present. The fish in the middle left of the picture looks like ...
