About
Corydoras CW049 is an undescribed species awaiting formal scientific description, collected from Peruvian Amazon tributaries. It bears a notable pattern of dark spots and a subtle body shape that distinguishes it from described congeners. Like most Corydoras, it is a peaceful schooling species well-suited to community aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water.
