Hi Flumpit2
We have a tank full of bronze cory fry, and they too look different. Some also have dark heads, while others are very light, almost clear. Previously we had fry that looked similar, and they've all since grown looking exactly alike and been sold. They do tend to change colour while growing, and even some will be bigger than others. They should all be fine. Not sure why, but I think they do this as a form of camouflage.

Hi im no expert,
But i have 4 peppered cory juviniles in my community tank and 3 of them are dark grey in colour and 1 of them is a really pale grey colour, the pale one has always been like that and theres nothing wrong with it , its fine and swims with the others normally, i think its just a different colouring thats occured.
hope that helps, i would still check out any other opinions on this though as i may not be correct,
cheers
