Relevant Information:

Collected alongside Corydoras zawadskii. Similar colour pattern as to Hoplisoma bondi from Venezuela, Bolivar. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 9, the "short-snouted" species with the designated type species: C. punctatus. A revision and a description (Dias et al 2024) has resurrected the genus name Hoplisoma (Agassiz, 1846). 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/Hoplisoma in good health.
