Relevant Information:

Corydoras sp. (CW059) is found in the same river location as the C. julli look-a-like, Hoplisoma sp. (CW060) which in itself has proved to be a colour form of Hoplisoma trilineatum. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 1. When there is a revision and a description they will stay as Corydoras (Lacépède, 1803) with the type species of C. geoffroy La Cépède, 1803. 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: Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and a good quality flake. Remarks: CW059 has proved to be a colour form of Corydoras blochi.
