Corydoras sp. (Cw010) • Callichthyidae • Cat-eLog

Cat-eLog Data Sheet
Scientific Name	Corydoras sp. (Cw010) Gill, 1858
Common Name(s)	CW010, Gold Laser Cory, Orange Stripe Cory, Peru Orange Stripe Cory
Pronunciation	Kory DOOR ass
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.
Species Information
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. See Corydoras aeneus.
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.
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 the aquarium.
