I think species of this tatia is dunni.

Thank you for answering!
Unfortunately,I don't have a picture of this tatia's caudalfin now.
I will take the picture when I change the woter in my tank.

And,this tatia is not corrected but exported from Ecuador.

There don't appear to be any known Auchenipterids found in Ecuador...

According to GBIF, there are many collections of Auchenipterids in Ecuador. Of course, the IDs might be wrong. And also of course, some of these names were recently reorganized.

Hello tatiaman,

If you ever get better photos we can be more help on the identification. But for now, we can help with the English: You mean this fish was "collected" (instead of corrected). And when you say "secondary product", we would say they are "by-catch" collected with the Corydoras aeneus.
