Last weekend I got 10 C. pygmaeus for my 63 liter tank. They are really great looking swimming around in a shoal.
Here is a pic of a resting cory:

Excellent shot. If it wasn't for that other fellow behind it, it would be perfect IMO. I consider corys a "horizontal fish" and they just look spectacular against thin vertical plants. I also think that out of focus area up front is counter productive.

Nice shot, well done.
It might look a little better still if the camera had been held a few centimetres higher to reduce the amount of out of focus gravel.

Thanks for the critique! :)
Yes, I agree about the "out of focus gravel". I was trying to shoot some pics of a cory closer to the glas, but didn't succeed and suddenly this cory lay down some inches behind my first spot. I couldn't move my tripod because they are so shy for movements outside the tank.
Lovely shot! The out of focus substrate in the front does not borther me. Seems to add depth to the picture.
Cheers,
Love the picture. I don't mind the substrate or the other fish in the background too much. Kind of creates a nice perception of depth having two fish on different planes. Also love the Eleocharis in the background, which makes it look very natural.
