Can you ID the cory on the bottom left of the webpage next to the molly?

A bit of a shot in the dark, but it looks like corydoryas guapore.

Looks like Corydorus guapore, since I've twelve of them and the markings are the same, but the photo isn't detailed enough to be sure.

Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it. Could you ID this one too? It has several different scientific names so I'm not too sure what it's called. One of the names is Callichthys serralabium. It looks neat!

No, Albino cories are not dyed.

Looks like a Hoplo of some sort to me too, the one pic from the top the head is similar looking to a banjo cat in shape, but the rest, well it's obviously not a banjo cat, I'm just pointing out that odd cat's have some similarities. but I don't know my catfish well, and they all have similarities. I'd bet also that Dave could give you a better answer too. Look at it this way, Hoplo cats are often called armored cats, if that catfish you posted a pic of couldn't be considered armored, then... Therefore it's a hoplo! No, just kidding, it's a good looking fish, and I'd say it's quite possible it's in that family, but it's not neccessarily that. Good looking fish though, that's for sure.
And yeah, albino cories aren't dyed, they're albino. I've never actually seen a dyed cory in any way, that's a good thing. Hopefully no one ever decides to dye corys, they're cute enough as it is anyway, and they come in plenty of naturally good looking color and pattern variations.
