Relevant Information:

This small species is similar to C. paucerna from the Rio Paucerna but this Corydoras lacks the dorsal blotch. Sympatric with C. cruziensis. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 4 which includes two of the dwarf species and a revison would be a resurrection of the disused Microcorydoras (Myers, 1953) with the designated type species: C. hastatus. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will be happier in a group. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and a good quality flake.
