I just got a WILD group of Corydoras from my LFS, but I am not really sure what species they are. Can someone or any experts really help me out or have any ideas about this species? They are from PERU as the LFS owner said that he got from an exporter. In my opinion, I though they MIGHT be Corydoras Leopardus or Corydoras Sp. C128, but I am NOT really sure because of their body color patterns. They MIGHT not be neither Corydoras Leopardus nor Corydoras Sp. C128, so I REALLY want to make sure what species they are. It will be greatly appreciated very much. These are their photos. Thank you very much.

I really appreciated that. At the first time, I thought all my Corydoras are Corydoras Leopardus, but the color patterns on the Corydoras Leopardus is so different than my Corydoras http://www.planetcatfish.com/corydoras_leopardus that I have,so I am still NOT really 100% sure about this species. Anyway, I REALLY love them very much because they look very interesting to me, and I will study more about them. Thank you again, Mark.
I'm really appreciated that. I will try to study much more about Corydoras Leopardus Family with included Corydoras Gomezi, Leopardus, C102, C131, and so on. I know how different between all these species now from your web-site even though I don't know much, but at least I know some and I will try to study much more about them. All these species look very interesting to me because I have never had any chance to find all these species at all, but I love them all. I will try to find them all if I have chance. Thank you very much again The.Dark.One. You are the one who always help me out. I am really appreciated that.
My Corydoras look like Corydoras Gomezi the most from your web-site and some web-sites that I did check it because of their noses and their body color patterns, but my Corydoras come from PERU as my LFS owner said that he got from PERU exporter, but Corydoras Gomezi comes from Columbia, so I am still NOT really sure about that, or it MIGHT be Corydoras Cf. Leopardus. I will wait for them in a couple month to see how different than right now, and I will take some photos and post more in here to let everybody see them again.

You are welcome. Don't be too put off by where they were exported from. Have a look at a map of Peru and Colombia and you will see that they share some rivers etc and some fish caught in Colombia can be shipped from Peru and vice versa.
Like you say, grow them on a bit and lets have another look then.
