| Species Information | |
| Size | 58mm or 2.3" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
| Identification | Males and females look identical until maturity when only the males develop a strong pattern. Very similar to Corydoras pantanalensis except that C. pantanalensis has a hyaline (yellowish) tinge to the colour of the fins. |
| Sexing | Females grow larger and are more full-bodied, this is best observed from above the fish. Males will typically have more pointed as opposed to more rounded fin tips as they mature. |

| IUCN Red List Category | Not Evaluated |
| pH | 6.0 - 8.0 |
| Temperature | 22.5-26.0°C or 72.5-78.8°F (Show species within this range) |
| Other Parameters | dH 2-25. |
| Husbandry Information | |
| Feeding | Will readily accepted all prepared foods that reach the bottom of the aquarium such as tablets, granules and larger flakes. Live (or frozen) foods such as bloodworm, white worm, grindal worm (Enchytraeus), Daphnia and Tubifex are readily accepted and good for conditioning groups of fishes for spawning. User data. |
| Furniture | Ideally substrate should be sand, but rounded gravel is an imperfect alternative. Avoid keeping over rough edged (chipped) gravel, this will increase this risk of damage the fishes barbels when it tries to dig. Substrate should be bordered with driftwood and aquatic plants leaving an open area for them to search for food and swim. The shade provided by overhanging rock work, arching bogwood, tall or floating plants are all that is required to settle these fishes. |
| Compatibility | A peaceful, shoaling, community fish. |
| Breeding | Unreported. |
| Breeding Reports | There is no breeding report. |
