Relevant Information:

Similar to Hoplisoma evelynae and has a very distinctive colour pattern. This may be a species in its own right or a naturally occurring hybrid. First given the C-Number in the German Datz magazine of November 1994. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 9, the "short-snouted" species with the designated type species: C. punctatus. A revision in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Hoplisoma (Agassiz, 1846). As of the latest revision (Dias et al 2024) Corydoras sp. (C019) has now been placed in Lineage 9 and has the new genus name of Hoplisoma. 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/Hoplisoma in good health. Remarks: This species is still found on some online sources as Corydoras sp. (C019).
