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. CW127 is a Corydoras World code. Dan's Fish titles the fish "Super Parallelus Cory CW127", which marks it as a form sold apart from Corydoras parallelus.

Morphology

The seller's text the atlas holds is general Corydoras information and does not describe this form's colour or pattern. The name refers to a parallel-lined look, but the listing does not say so.

Habitat

No collection locality is given. Corydoradines occur across tropical South America (genus-level).

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 genus 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

Dan's Fish describes Corydoras in general as peaceful community fish that live in groups. No size, water or care figures are given for this form.

Conservation

No IUCN assessment exists for this undescribed form. Its range and numbers are not documented, so its conservation status cannot be stated.
