Description
|
Similar in colour pattern to Hoplisoma burgessi, and has been proven to be a colour form of this species. 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 sp. (CW158) 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 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. |
