I went to my LFS yesterday to stock up on food, filter sponges, etc, and had a little look around. I found some beautiful Corydoras rabauti, so I went home thinking.

If you look at the back glass here you can see two C. rabauti swimming back down after taking air at the surface. As I said earlier, they settled very quickly. :D

One of my C. schwartzi, who I suspect was coaxed out of his usual hiding place by the C. rabauti:
