Spawning Behaviour?

So last night I was watching my Cory's being very playful and swimming up and down the glass and following each other around.

I have attached a link to a video of them doing this.

Do you think it's spawning behaviour or them just having some fun?

It looks like they're just swimming around happily.   If the males start chasing the females (they really zip around) or if they make a 'T' shape, then you should look for eggs.

Are they Schwartzi's??

Thanks DiddleBug, I'm still not sure which one out of those 3 are males or females.
 
I'm not sure DoubleDutch, I posted on the forum before to get them ID'd and someone suggested they were Delphax but I don't think that's right after looking it up on SeriouslyFish the other night

I'm no expert but the closest cory species that I could see might be Corydoras brevirostris, but it's quite difficult to tell. They appear to have that same golden 'Y' shape looking from above.
 
In my experience, though, this is just normal cory behaviour.

I'll try and get a better picture of them for you.
 
They never use to be this active but are obviously just a lot more happier now with the tank after I moved house haha

Hey DoubleDutch,
 
Turns out I do have Schwartzi's

Beauties.
 
You'd be one of the first having them spawning to my believe !!!
