Aspidoras The Aspidoras genus is a moderately sized genus of freshwater catfish in the armored catfish family consisting of 19 species and a few, as yet undescribed species. They are all small, the largest not surpassing 5 cm in length. The name Aspidoras is derived from the Greek aspis (shield) and dora (skin). Aspidoras do fairly well in aquaria under similar conditions as for most Corydoras species. The water conditions that seem best are a pH of 6.8 to 7.0 and a temperature of about 71°F to 78°F.

Brochis Brochis is a genus of freshwater catfish in the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family in order Siluriformes. The name Brochis is derived from the Greek word "brogchia", meaning "throat" or "trachea". These fish are often confused with members of the Corydoras genus. They can be told apart from Corydoras by the fact that Brochis has a deeper body and a higher number of dorsal fin rays. Brochis are peaceful and hardy fishes that live in schools on the bottom of the aquarium. They are undemanding aquarium fishes that attain a length of about 8 cm (3.2 in.).

Corydoras Members of the South American Corydoras genus are freshwater temperate and tropical catfish in the armored catfish family, and are commonly referred to as cory catfish, cory cats, or simply corys. The name Corydoras is derived from the Greek kory (helmet) and doras (skin). Corydoras is a very large genus with over 180 described species. In addition, many variants exist. Several hundred Corydoras species are not yet classified, but kept by aquarists. Corys are shy fish and it is recommended to keep them in groups of at least six as most species seem to form shoals in the aquaria (e.g. Paxton 1997).

"C" Numbers Corydoras is a very large genus with over 180 described species. In addition, many variants exist. Several hundred Corydoras species are not yet classified, but kept by aquarists. These species are given C-Numbers, originally devised by Hans-Georg Evers for the German fishkeeping magazine DATZ in 1993. As of 2006, are 153 C-numbers assigned, of which 32 have subsequently been assigned appropriate scientific names.

Scleromystax The genus Scleromystax consist of seven species of which two are undescribed. Scleromystax are recognized by five synapomorphies. Easily recognizable is the sexual in the pectoral spines of adult males, which have a much longer spine then the females. Furthermore the first three branched dorsal fin rays are elongated and much longer in adult males. The lower edges of the ventral parts of the mouth below the maxillary barbels are covered by a fleshy flap. The cheeks of sexually active males are in some species (Barbatus, Macropterus, C112, C113) covered with a beardlike structure of odontodes. This beard can vanish and reappear in the mating season. Scleromystax species are restricted to the region of the Mata Atlantica, the rainforest along the eastern to southeastern coast of Brazil.

Other Catfish Catfishes (order Siluriformes) are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which resemble a cat's whiskers, catfish range in size and behavior from the heaviest and longest, the Mekong giant catfish from Southeast Asia and the second longest, the wels catfish of Eurasia, to detritivores (species that eat dead material on the bottom), and even to a tiny parasitic species commonly called the candiru, Vandellia cirrhosa. There are armour-plated types and also naked types, neither having scales. Despite their name, not all catfish have prominent barbels; members of the Siluriformes order are defined by features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of considerable commercial importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food. Many of the smaller species, particularly the genus Corydoras, are important in the aquarium hobby.
