Relevant Information:

A long snouted relative to the lineage 9 species Hoplisoma melini and Hoplisoma davidsandsi but these species lack the markings on the flanks that C016 possesses. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 1. When there is a revision they will stay as Corydoras (Lacépède, 1803) with the type species of C. geoffroy La Cépède, 1803. As of the latest update (Dias et al 2024) Corydoras sp. (C016) has been placed in Lineage 1 and has retained the genus name of Corydoras. Aquarium Care: As this is one of the longer snouted species it will be well suited to most community tanks. A well planted tank with a soft substrate such as sand so they can bury their snouts while searching out food. Diet: A good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sporadic feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras in good health.
