Also known as Adolfo’s Catfish, Adolfo’s Corydoras are native to the inland waters of the Rio Negro basin in Brazil. These fish tend to inhabit blackwater environments, particularly rivers and tributaries, where the water is acidic and stained with tannins. Similar in appearance to a number of other Corydoras, this species has a pale or silver body with a black band near the base of the caudal fin and over the eye. The thickness of these bands is what distinguishes this species from others in its family – Adolfo’s Corydoras have thinner bands than other species such as the Panda Corydoras.
