 Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Corydoras rabauti La Monte, 1941 |
| Common Name(s) | Rabaut's Cory, Rusty Cory |
| Type Locality | A trib. of Amazon R., 7 days by river boat from manaus, 3°06'S, 60°00'W, Amazonas, Brazil. |
| Pronunciation | Kory DOOR ass - rah BOAT eye |
| Etymology | Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. Named to honour Mr. Auguste Rabaut. |
| Species Information | |
| Size | 55mm (2.2") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
| Identification | Corydoras are identified by their twin rows of armour plates along the flanks and by having fewer than 10 dorsal fin rays. They are most commonly confused with the other genera in the sub-family, namely Brochis, Scleromystax and Aspidoras. C.rabauti is quite a chunky fish and in good condition is a deep rust colour with well coloured fins and spines.There is a broad dark line that bends downwards at the caudal peduncle and there is a faint hint of it extending onto the caudal fin, this same line can have a slight shine in good light but never as much as C. zygatus with which it is often confused. |
| 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. |
| General Remarks | Active during the day and, for a Cory, not shy. |
| Habitat Information | |
| Distribution | South America: Peru: Brazil Amazon, Upper Amazon (hover or click on these areas to show maps or find other species found there) Amazon, Middle Amazon (Solimoes)  , Negro (hover or click on these areas to show maps or find other species found there)Amazon, Middle Amazon (Solimoes) (hover or click on these areas to show maps or find other species found there) |
| Temperature | 23.0-25.0°C or 73.4-77°F (Show others within this range) |
| Husbandry Information | |
| Feeding | Will accept a wide range of commercial foods including tablets, granules and flakes. Live (or frozen) foods such as bloodworm, white worm, grindal worm, Daphnia and tubifex are readily accepted. |
| Furniture | Shade provided by overhanging rock work, arching bogwood, tall or floating plants are all that is required. Ideally substrate should be sand, but rounded gravel is an imperfect alternative. Do not keep over regular, not rounded gravel, this will damaged the fishes barbels when it tries to dig. |
| Breeding | Has been bred in captivity. Spawns in clumps near the water line usually on the glass or on floating plants,some eggs have even been seen placed just above the water line. |
