What cories do you prefer keeping?

I'd like to get another species of corycat soon and am interested in what cories you folks like to keep.

Also what kind you currently keep or have had in the past, if you don't really have a preference.

I have a black gravel substrate and I really enjoy how the albino cory's pop against that black background. Very active and fun fish to watch.

Skunk cories look quite distinctive with their wide black stripe. I wouldn't mind a shoal of them.

I have kept all types of Cories through the years and can't seem to find one I prefer. Lately I found a dwarf cory that is adorable. my favorite would probably be the Panda Cory for their personality. Right now I have 3-Pandas, 11-Albinos, 3-Peppers, and 3-dwarfs. It is one of the only types of fish that I have found to live peacefully with Shrimp.

Do some species of cories have different personalities then? I always think of them as all the same except for their appearance, I don't know why but it just didn't occur to me that they might differ in other ways....that's probably silly now that I think about it, clearly tetras have different temperature requirements and some tetras are nippers and others aren't so much... Same goes for plecos, cichlids, barbs, etc. all being different in some ways. So I guess cories are like that too?

I have pet cories now but I have no idea what kind they are! I need to find that out. But whatever they are, they're cute!
