Relevant Information: An unusual species which is quite close to Corydoras cervinus and Corydoras sp. (C028). 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 good quality flake to name but a few. Remarks: Not seen very often in the hobby.
