Imported alongside the lineage
9 species Hoplisoma
habrosum as contaminants.
Known as "Long nose reynoldsi"
due to the colour similarity to another lineage 9
species, Hoplisoma
reynoldsi. Lineage:
Placed it 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. (CW012) 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.
