Relevant Information:

First given the C-number code of 110 in the German Datz magazine of August 2003. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 8 sub clade 4 which comprises the "intermediate long-snouts" with deeper bodies. It also includes Brochis in sub-clade 1 which was synonymised with Corydoras by Britto in 2003 but in time there will be a revision which will resurrect Brochis (Cope, 1871) to full genera again. As of the latest update ((Dias et al 2024) Corydoras sp. (C110) has now been placed in Lineage 8 sub clade 4 and has the new genus name of Brochis. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. Diet: A good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sporadic feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras/Brochis in good health. Remarks: Still found on some online sources as Corydoras sp. (C110).
