The
differences are noted herebetween the Aspidoras
and Corydoras genera. Eye: very small in Aspidoras
small in Corydoras. Body shape: smaller size and
body shape in Aspidoras compared to the much more bulkier
Corydoras. Head: smaller head shape in Aspidoras
compared with Corydoras. Aspidoras posses a duel fontanel
bone structure in skull whereas Corydoras have only the one
larger fontanel. Aquarium Care: With all
of this genus they are best kept in groups of six or more and are
best housed with small fishes that are not aggressive. Provide a
planted area in the tank for cover and include a soft substrate
such as sand or small rounded gravel. Diet: Flake,
tablet foods, small live and frozen foods. Remarks:
Many species of Aspidoras are difficult to tell apart unless
there is catchment information available.
