I think the first one is C. trietlii and the second possibly C. ellisae.

Hi Ian,

Here's my observation from the 2.

Cory A does look like a Corydoras sp. cf. treitlii. Are they suppose to have a saddlenose or round nose? Mine seems to have a round nosed, as compared to Cory B which has a saddlenose.

Also, the dorsal and tail fin on Cory B is clear and has no markings. I did a search and found that C. ellisae has some slight pattern/markings on its tail and dorsal fin.
