Sta.sh
I've seen many of those, though I haven't kept much corys myself. The ones I had, something like 8 years ago, were luckily C. elegans, a swimming species that spends little time on the bottom. Thus their whiskers were in a pretty good condition regardless of the sharp-edged gravel substrate.
Happily, the man whose tanks I was photographing had taken excellent care of his fish, and even the most fragile species had perfect whiskers.
The only other colorful corys I know are Corydoras sterbai and Brochis splendens
The man I visited had plenty more colorful species: C. robineae, C. gossei and C. pulcher where the most memorable.
Right now I put all my corys in a smaller tank, since my bichirs became bigger and tend to bite their fins when they put their snouts into the sand when searching for food, but they still kept their colors.
Was that man specialized in breeding corys? I've rarely seen those species you mentioned in shops, who usually only sell 3-5 of the more common and less colorful species.
