Not sure of the Latin names unfortunately and don't not much about Cory's either (I know, I'm a philistine!)
Anyway I can give 2 I really like...
Love the Panda Cory and also the big hognose one!

For me, I'd really struggle to keep it to give and I'll stick with fish I've kept:
C.Sterbai
C.Weitzmani
C.Napoensis
C.Copei
A.paucirodiatus (I think these might now be classified as a Corydoras now, I can't keep up).

It's hard to ignore CW010 and Concolor as well as many others!

Is it true that Corydoras have venomous spines on their dorsal fin?

Yes, but pectoral. I've never heard of them as dangerous to us. They can release a toxin into the water that can be fatal to themselves. Very rarely happens when you buy fish from the shop in the bag.

I'll look into this, I'm sure I seen Ian Fuller refer to them as Corydoras Paucirodiatus this week.
