| Scientific Name | Brochis (sub-clade 1) costai Ottoni, Barbosa & Katz, 2016 |
| Common Name | |
| Type Locality | Swamp on BR-030, 3 km east from Guanambi, Município de Guanambi, Estado da Bahia, Brazil, 14°11'08''S, 42°44'20''W, elevation 522 meters. |

| Species Information | |
| Sexing | Females grow larger and are more full-bodied, this is best observed from above the fish. Males will typically have more pointed as opposed to more rounded fin tips as they mature. |
| General Remarks | There is some concern that Corydoras costai may not be a valid species, but may have been identified and characterized using a collection of slightly atypical individuals of Corydoras garbei (for holotype) and C. garbei mixed with Corydoras difluviatilis (for paratypes) to define C. costai. Eventually, C. costai may be reassigned as a synonym of C. garbei, but for now it is considered a valid species. |

| IUCN Red List Category | Not Evaluated |
| Husbandry Information | |
| Feeding | Will readily accepted all prepared foods that reach the bottom of the aquarium such as tablets, granules and larger flakes. Live (or frozen) foods such as bloodworm, white worm, grindal worm (Enchytraeus), Daphnia and Tubifex are readily accepted and good for conditioning groups of fishes for spawning. User data. |
| Furniture | Ideally substrate should be sand, but rounded gravel is an imperfect alternative. Avoid keeping over rough edged (chipped) gravel, this will increase this risk of damage the fishes barbels when it tries to dig. Substrate should be bordered with driftwood and aquatic plants leaving an open area for them to search for food and swim. The shade provided by overhanging rock work, arching bogwood, tall or floating plants are all that is required to settle these fishes. |
| Compatibility | A peaceful, shoaling, community fish. |
| Breeding Reports | There is no breeding report. |
