Corydoras habrosus
SYN: None
PD: The body shape of C. habrosus resembles C. hastatus . The body color is tan to beige and matches the color of the belly. A broken, olive green band extends from the gill cover back to the caudal peduncle.
This particular species is not commonly available, but is well worth looking out for and is ideal for smaller aquariums. The catfish depicted in this feature have been incorrectly shown as Corydoras habrosus in the last couple of years.
The pH of the water was around 6.6-6.8 and driftwood and Java moss provided cover and ornamentation. Two pairs of B. foerschi (Kubu) and some Corydoras habrosus were the other occupants of this tank.
