Relevant Information:

Similar looking as to CW004, and CW155 but with all different snout shapes which points to different lineages. Lineage: CW156 is placed in Lineage 1 the "saddle-nosed" species and when there is a revision they will stay as Corydoras (Lacépède, 1803) with the type species of C. geoffroy La Cépède, 1803. 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 a good quality flake.
