Corydoras simulatus
Weitzman & Nijssen, 1970
Max length70mm SL2.8in SLTanknot recordedTemp20–25°C68–77°FpH6.0–7.0This species can be identified from similar-looking congeners by possession of a pair of small rictal barbels. Its colour pattern can vary considerably depending on collection locality, with some forms having been misidentified as other species in the past. Those possessing a dark marking on the sides of the body are sometimes referred to as Corydoras sp. 'olga'.
