Sympatric with Hoplisoma sp. (CW069) and Brochis seussi which has a longer snout (lineage 8 sub-clade4) Before B. seussi was described by Dinkelmeyer in 1996 as Corydoras seussi its common name was "long-nosed gossei". All of these three mentioned species like a warmer temperature in the aquarium. 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 gossei 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: The specific name gossei: In honour of Jean-Pierre Gosse (1924–2001), curator of vertebrates, Institut Royal des Sciences Naturalles de Belgique, who collected holotype. Remarks: This species is still found on some online sources as Corydoras gossei.
