No issues with gills. Many come from Amazonian regions with sandy bottoms.

The Unipac sands are better aesthetically IMHO. But silver sand is used by many.

Which sand have you actually ordered Fred? Is it one of the Unipac range?

These are much better. Oh to have had YT  40 years ago!

I think my expedition days are behind me Jon!   

If you're on Facebook join the group Corydoras world. It contains some of the worlds most respected authorities on these fish.

I found this video useful. The sound is dreadful though.

I may have made a mistake or perhaps both the Plecs and the Cory have spawned because one of the Plecs I haven't seen for a few days is buried under the filter in that corner. It isn't stuck because it moves back and forward if I tap the glass Time will tell

No. Pet shops have true species. Bronze, peppered, albino are a staple of the trade. You'll find these everywhere.

So the likelihood is much of the pet store fish are hybrids?

Yes they can, sadly.
