Hi,
Just want to share some pics of my 30gal mixed cory tank. I've had community tanks in the past but enjoyed the corys the most, so I decided to set up a tank just for them :D Residents are:
2 bronze
9 pandas
4 metae
4 melini
16 pygmeaus
12 sterbai
7 duplicareus
6 habrosus
6 schwartzi
3 elegans
2 whitefin
6 trilineatus

Oh I am so glad you shared these pictures! I have a 29 US gallon tank. All I have are Danios and Cories. I'm taking some criticism from some of my family for not having some bigger showier fish. I was going to have a cichlid in it but could not find any I thought I could take proper care of and who would get along with my existing fish well. I mean, my cories and Danios are used to having run of the tank and it would be sad to see them being run out of whatever territory a cichlid would stake out.

So I just love seeing photos of how beautiful and elegant (and exciting) an all-cory tank can be. And that surely describes yours!

Oh hey, I see you DO have Rams in there! Cool, they all get along, then? I haven't seen any good-looking Rams at the LFS in awhile. I mean, I saw one tankful but there was a dead one in there with them and another in the process of dying. Oops!
