Denis,

What size is the fish (body length) Aspidoras are a nightmare to separate at the best of times and if this is a juvenile it will make a good ID even more difficult.

This one is small ... i think about 15mm. I never get to see Aspidoras before whom the LFS sold under habrosus. Is like a new Science Chapter to me though they are all in the same Family.
Only one left probably people think this one is abnormal.

The face looks more like mice than typical corys. But people who like the Corys will probably like to keep this one :).

That certainly looks like an Aspidoras to me in those latest pictures. Perhaps Aspidoras pauciradiatus? Coloration looks similar to me. Good luck with them! Nice looking fish.

A. pauciradiatus, possibly the smallest of all the Aspidoras species growing to a little over 25mm males 30 mm females
