Relevant Information:

First given the C-number of C027 before it was described. Similar to C. gossei Back to Family page Back to Family page which they are found alongside, but with a longer snout. Also found alongside CW069. All of these three mentioned species like a warmer temperature in the aquarium. 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. Aquarium Care: A minimum size of 24” x 15” X 12” for a shoal of these catfish. The preferred substrate for keeping them should be good quality aquarium sand such as BD Aquarium Sand, or very smooth rounded gravel in order to prevent their barbels from being damaged. The aquarium should provide some shelter in the form of rocks, bogwood and aquatic plants. As with all other species of fish, water quality and general husbandry is very important, and I would recommend that the aquarist undertake a minimum of 25% water change on a fortnightly basis. Diet: As with all the other Corydoras, Corydoras seussi readily accepts a mixed and varied diet. sinking pellets, good quality flake foods, granular foods, cultured whiteworm and frozen foods such as bloodworm. Etymology: Named after German ichthyologist Dr Werner Seuss.
