Hi collared_drifter

They are lovely fish, but they aren't corydoras.

They used to be grouped as a cory, but some time back they were reclassified and are now known as Scleromystax barbatus. Here's a link to the planet catfish page:

Here's a link to a recently closed auction on AquaBid:

It will give you an idea of what the current price of them is. Of course, if you buy from a lfs that could be more or less depending on his costs. If you live in the US, why not try contacting the seller and asking if he has any more for sale.
