The fisrst looks more like a Sturiosoma to me

Can't tell you about the cory, but the loach is a Noemacheilus indeed. Perhaps you better inquire at www.loaches.com? There you find the specialists

I think the Corydoras is .
I think the loach is Lepidocephalichthys berdmorei.

Tentatively, I'd call the first one , but they are definitely hard to tell apart. S. arueum stays fairly small and is more slender most other Sturisoma species.

Having said that, Sturisoma as a group are quite hard to identify - there are many species that are only subtly different.

For the last I don't know...

The last is not a catfish, but a Loach, hence the suggestion to go to www.loaches.com (or somewhere else where there is loach information). Although I expect Silurus to know Loaches fairly well too - after all, he's been collecting fish in areas that have plenty of loaches.
