Type Locality	Rio Guaporé, Brazil.
Pronunciation	bro kiss sub clade four - harald SHOOLTS eye
Etymology	Named to honour Mr. Harald Schultz.
Species Information
Size	59mm or 2.3" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp.
Identification	Bright orange fin colouration and spotted body means that this species can only really be confused with C. sterbai, although the latter has a rounded snout where C. haraldschultzi is a long nosed species. Spots on the head can be used to differentiate them: C. haraldschultzi has dark spots on a light background, whilst C. sterbai have light spots on a dark background. Another species with orange fins is C. gossei, but this fish has no spots on the body at all, with spots only on the caudal fin.
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
Temperature	24.0-26.0°C or 75.2-78.8°F (Show species within this range)
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.
