Yes, what MissNoodle said.
Corydoras(Ln6) paleatus
.

Petco and other stores often call these punctatus, which means simply "spotted." But the real
Corydoras(Ln9) punctatus
looks really different.

Cheers, Eric

Thank you very much. It was extremely frustrating not knowing what they actually are. :d I have six in total. They are very healthy and get along great with my 5 pygmaeus corydoras.
