Corydoras brittoi is so far known only from the type-locality and its conservation status is uncertain based on the limited knowledge of its geographic distribution. However, considering that important threats to the species were not detected in the area, and that it occurs in a protected area (Reserva Extrativista Guariba Roosevelt), Corydoras brittoi would be classified as Least Concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories and criteria (IUCN Standards and Petitions Subcommittee, 2014). (Tencatt & Ohara, 2016). Lineage: Placed in Lineage 8 sub clade 4 which comprises the "intermediate long-snouts" with deeper bodies. It also includes Brochis in sub-clade 1 which was synonymised with Corydoras by Britto in 2003 but in time there will be a revision which will resurrect Brochis (Cope, 1871) to full genera again. As of the latest revision (Dias et al 2024) Corydoras brittoi has now been placed in Lineage 8 sub clade 4 and has the new genus name of Brochis. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. 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. Etymology: Brochis brittoi is named in honour of Marcelo Ribeiro de Britto, a dear friend and mentor, for his extensive contributions to the taxonomy and systematics of the Corydoradinae. A genitive. (Tencatt & Ohara, 2016). Remarks: Still found on some online sources as Corydoras brittoi.
