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. CW104 is a Corydoras World code. Imperial Tropicals sells it as Norhora's Hoplisoma, and a hobby reference lists it as Corydoras sp. CW104 from before the 2024 revision, now placed under Hoplisoma, the lineage that holds many former Corydoras.
Morphology
Imperial Tropicals describes a white or light silver, almost translucent body dotted with black spots, and an adult length that rarely passes about 1.5 in.
Habitat
A hobby reference places the form in Colombia. 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 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
Imperial Tropicals recommends it as a small alternative to the common pygmy and dwarf spotted species and says it is almost never seen in the hobby. Like other corydoradines, the genus does best on sand it can sift, and in 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.
