Relevant Information:

Very similar in colour pattern to Corydoras brevirostris from Guyana. This species is the same as CW027. C154 is considered to be the semi adult stage of CW027. Placed in Lineage 9, the "short-snouted" species with the designated type species: C. punctatus. A revision and a description in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Hoplosopma (Agassiz, 1846). 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 good quality flake to name but a few.
