It looks like it could be the start of hole in the head disease I would start treatment and improve his diet most of the time is cause by the fish not getting a proper diet

My sure to add extra airtone because it causes foaming at surface

It is a common disease of corydoras some people think it to do with toxic secretion corydoras release when stressed during neting and transporting I would do a treatment of API melafix as a precaution

Do you make sure you are matching the temp when doing a water change

No but they could be suffering for form shock have you recently done a water change

Ember tetras like temp between 24-28 your temp to low

It is usually combination of stress and poor water conditions
