Relevant Information:

This species has a similar body pattern to CW080. CW080 and CW124 are now confirmed as colour forms of Corydoras stenocephalus. 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. (CW124) has been kept in Lineage 1 and has the same 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: Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and a good quality flake.
