Taxonomy & naming
This is an undescribed form: no scientific name, authority or type material stands behind it, and its identity and range are not documented in the sources the atlas uses. CW106 is a Corydoras World code. Imperial Tropicals calls it a medium-sized Brochis that has yet to receive an official scientific name, and says it is very similar to Brochis CW107, the visible difference being a longer snout in CW106. The atlas also holds Brochis sp. CW220.
Morphology
Imperial Tropicals describes faded orange coloration on the head, a black mask, and a thick black dorsal stripe. Its description of the stripe is cut short in the text the atlas holds.
Habitat
Imperial Tropicals states that it comes from the Rio Vaupés in Colombia, a tributary of the Rio Negro system. No habitat measurements are recorded.
Feeding
Corydoradines are bottom-feeding omnivores that sift sand with their barbels (genus-level); no diet is documented for this form.
Mating
Like other corydoradines, the group spawns in the T-position, the female carrying eggs in her pelvic fins before sticking them to a surface. Spawning of this form is not documented.
Breeding
No captive-breeding record for this form is held by the atlas.
In the aquarium
Imperial Tropicals says it is fairly new to the hobby and rather challenging to acquire. No size, water or care figures are held beyond genus-level practice: sand to sift and a group.
Conservation
No IUCN assessment exists for this undescribed form. Its range and numbers are not documented, so its conservation status cannot be stated.
