 Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Corydoras sarareensis Dinkelmeyer, 1995 |
| Common Names | C023, Sarare Cory Sarare-pansermalle (Denmark) |
| Type Locality | Rio Sararé, right side branch of Rio Guaporé, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. |
| Pronunciation | kor ee doh rass (lineage one). |
| 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 for the Rio Sarare in Brazil, where this species was found. |
| Species Information | |
| Size | 65mm or 2.6" 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. |
| 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. |
| Habitat Information | |
| Distribution | South America: Guaporé River basin in Brazil. Amazon, Middle Amazon (Solimoes), Madeira, Mamoré, Guaporé (Iténez) (click on these areas to find other species found there) Log in to view data on a map. |
| IUCN Red List Category | Least Concern, range map and more is available on the IUCN species page. Last assessed 2018. |
| 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. User data. |
| 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. Avoid keeping over rough edged (chipped) gravel, this will increase this risk of damage the fishes barbels when it tries to dig. |
| Compatibility | A peaceful, shoaling, community fish. |
| Breeding | Unreported. |
| Breeding Reports | There is no breeding report. |
