Dark vertical vermicular bars cover the lateral and dorsal body from pectoral-fin base to caudal peduncle; four dark bars in caudal fin.

        Identification changed to [The colour pattern forms an even arch (hence the scientific name) of dark stripe from the snout to the lower back. Sometimes the cleithrum will have an iridescent gold or bronze color. Corydoras arcuatus is very similar to Corydoras granti. C. arcuatus can be distinguished by having a longer, straight snout, whereas C. granti has a shorter, more rounded snout. Also, the posterior margin of the pectoral fin spine of C. arcuatus has serrations pointing toward the origin of the spine (toward the body), whereas these serrations point toward the spine tip on C. granti. Finally, when full grown, C. arcuatus is a larger species than C. granti.] from [The colour pattern forms an even arch (hence the scientific name) of dark stripe from the snout to the lower back.
