Relevant Information:

Known in the trade under the name Corydoras sp. ‘Guarana’ after the Brazilian lemonade of the same colour. Given the C-code number of C065. As of the latest paper by Tencatt & Britto, 2016, this species has now been described as Corydoras eversi. 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 Hoplisoma (Agassiz, 1846). As of the latest revision (Dias et al 2024), Corydoras eversi has now been placed in Lineage 9 and has the new genus name of Hoplisoma. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. Diet: A good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sporadic feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras in good health. Etymology: Named in the honour of Hans-Georg Evers who has for many years, alongside Ian Fuller, been at the forefront of the ever evolving Corydoras catfish subfamily Corydoradinae. Remarks: This species is still found on some online sources as Corydoras eversi.
