Relevant Information:

The known specimens of Corydoras pavanelliae are relatively numerous and were collected among C. brittoi specimens. For this reason, we also suggest that C. pavanelliae 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 9, the "short-snouted" species with the designated type species: C. punctatus. A revision in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Hoplosopma (Agassiz, 1846). Aquarium Care: A tank setup would entail a soft substrate such as sand or a small gravel and a nice plant covering around the back and sides of the aquarium. If housed in a community tank a mixture of small South American characins or the smaller varieties of Asian Rasboras would suffice, as larger fishes would intimidate these shy Cory's, and would stop them eating and would be therefore detrimental to their overall health. Diet: A good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sparodic feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras in good health. Etymology: Corydoras pavanelliae is named in honour of Carla Simone Pavanelli, advisor of the first author and dear friend, for her extensive contributions to the knowledge of the ecology and taxonomy of the Neotropical fishes. A genitive.
