All Fishes Data Sheet
Scientific Name	**Corydoras (lineage 8 sub-clade 4) sychri** Weitzman, 1960
Common Names	Long Nosed Fairy Catfish Fepansermalle (Denmark), Panzerwels (Germany)
Type Locality	South America, specific locality unkown (aquarium specimen) [apparently Province Maynas, Río Nanay, right bank near Shiriyana, Peru].
Pronunciation	kor ee doh rass (lineage eight subclade four). - sigh cry
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. Named to honour Mr. Al Sychr.
Species Information
Size	43mm or 1.7" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp.
Identification	Often confused with C97. In C. sychri the head shape is longer, with a distinct angular profile from dorsal to top of head above the eye and then down to the snout. Some specimens may even show a curve to the snout, making it more of a saddle shape. C97 has a shorter, straighter profile. The body spotting is more like small blotches rather than defined spots in C. sychri, but in C97 the spots are usually well defined, fewer, and more evenly spaced out. If you compare the colour patterns to those of C. loretoensis (C. sychri) and C. atropersonatus (C97) may better explain the differences, but always allow for a certain amount of variability.
