Relevant Information:

Not unlike the pattern for Brochis geryi but this species has a pattern in the caudal fin wheras B. pantanalensis is hyaline (clear). The species here has the shape for B. geryi but the clear caudal fin of B. pantanalensis. Lineage: Included in Lineage 8 (sub-clade 3) with the "intermediate long-snouts" with deeper bodies. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. Diet: A good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sporadic feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras/Brochis in good health.
