Scientific Name | Corydoras (lineage 7) sp. `LLANOS` |
Common Name | |
Pronunciation | kor ee doh rass (lineage seven). |
Etymology | Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. |
Species Information | |
Identification | This species is almost never exported from Venezuela despite being prevalent in the Llanos. Because it is very dark to black in the flanks, it has been confused with the line-bred black strain of Corydoras schultzei. |
Sexing | Males are smaller and slimmer. Females grow larger and are much wider which can most easily be observed from above. |
