any corys will go with those fish, you may have to look out for them being picked on like!
most corys grow to about 3 inch. a good sized shoal should make sure they're kept safe :good:
there is a corydoras looking fish called a scleromystax barbatus that grows slightly longer that corydoras though. its a pretty sweet looking fish but i dont know how common it is.
 
If you want a corydoras-like fish try one of the following two species:
- Brochis splendens
- Brochis multiradiatus

both species are similar to corydoras but are much larger, again they should be kept in a shoal of a minimum of 6
 
if you are keeping them with discus and angels then you need something that will appreciate the warmer temps, therefore not every cory will go in the tank you have. I would recommend C.sterbai. I wouldnt but S.barbatus in there as they are a cooler water fish and prefer temps around 20*c.

Maybe you could give us an idea of your water temp and tank size and we will then be better able to advise you :)
