Picked a group of 12 of these up for $40 CAD. Sold as
Corydoras aeneus.
To me, they look like
Corydoras zygatus.
Can someone please ID them for me?

Sorry, I knew what you meant and I meant the same thing. But I must have had a brain fart and reversed the numbers when I typed.
Yes, 12 for $40 CAD is terrific. That = $32.30 USD, so you paid ~$2.69 USD each. The cheapest cory I see for sale is the common bronze (aeneus), and unless they're on sale, they will be at least $2.99 USD each.
Good for you - a terrific school of corys for a bargain!
Did the store have more? Might be a good idea to get them and make your group even more splendid.
Cheers, Eric

So definitely not
? They're hard to tell apart.

They did! They had a whole tank full, not yet for sale (fortunately I knew the guy). Today's a holiday, but perhaps tomorrow I will go back and pick up another 12.

I am not sure what they are, exactly. That is why I am asking!

C.rabauti and C.zygatus can be told apart by the colour patterns of their fry. Best start conditioning them for breeding!
