Corydoras sp.( Cw010 ) 0.5″-1.5″ WILD CAUGHT

Corydoras sp. (CW010) refers to a specific, yet undescribed species of Corydoras that has been temporarily classified under the “CW” numbering system. This system is used by aquarists and ichthyologists to catalog Corydoras species that haven’t been formally named or are variants of recognized species.

Here are details about Corydoras sp. (CW010):

• Native Range: Although specific details about its geographic origin are less clear, most Corydoras species, including CW010, are typically found in South America, especially in slow-moving rivers and tributaries.
• Size: This species is relatively small, growing to around 2–2.5 inches (5–6 cm).
• Appearance: Corydoras sp. (CW010) is known for its attractive and distinctive coloration, with a light body and dark spots. They often have a pale or metallic sheen, contrasted by striking black patterns on the body and head.
• Temperament: Like most Corydoras, CW010 is peaceful and thrives in schools of at least six individuals. They are non-aggressive and can be housed in a community tank with other peaceful fish.
• Diet: They are omnivores, scavenging for food along the tank bottom. Their diet should consist of high-quality sinking pellets, along with live or frozen foods like bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.
• Water Parameters: They prefer soft, slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5) and temperatures of 72–79°F (22–26°C). Clean, well-oxygenated water is important for their health.
• Tank Setup: They do best in a well-planted tank with soft, sandy substrates to prevent injury to their delicate barbels. Hiding spots such as driftwood, caves, and plants will help mimic their natural environment and provide security.

Since Corydoras sp. (CW010) is not yet formally described, there may still be discoveries about their habitat and behavior as they are studied further. However, they are highly sought after by Corydoras enthusiasts for their unique patterns and suitability for community tanks.
