This pretty cory comes from the Brazilian state of Rondonia. It is not possible to distinguish the fish from Corydoras griseus externally. However, Corydoras griseus comes from Guyana and between the collecting sites of both species are serveral thoundands of kilometers. So it was decided to wait until a scientist has researched the identity of both fish and to give the fish from Rondonia the provisional name C40. So it is possible to avoid unwanted crossings in the aquarium.
Although Corydoras sp.C40 is not really colorful, it is a very attractive species which developes a nice “fishbone-pattern” on the flanks. It is an absolutely peaceful and undemanding species. As the fish belong to the classical roundnoses they like to be in company of their kind and should be kept in small schools (6 or more individuals).
