ETYMOLOGY
Corydoras: from Ancient Greek κόρυς (korus), meaning 'helmet', and δορά (dora), meaning 'skin, animal hide', alluding to the rows of bony plates on the flanks of members of the genus. delphax: from Ancient Greek delphax, meaning 'a little pig, piglet'.
Distribution
It has been recorded in the Rio Inírida and other parts of the upper Orinoco basins in western Colombia and apparently in northeastern Peru. The type locality is 'Guainía, Inírida river system, Caño Bacón, Pueblo Bretania, 3°43'N, 67°59'W, Colombia'.
Maintenance
A fine sand substrate is ideal, although rounded gravel is an acceptable alternative as long as it is kept scrupulously clean. Other decor largely depends on personal choice, but some cover must be provided to secure the fish.
