Corydoras semiaquilus is a species of tropical freshwater catfish in the family Callichthyidae. It is endemic to the Amazon Basin in South America.[1][2]
This species has been recorded as growing to 6 cm (2.4 in) in length. It inhabits water within the range of 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2.0–25 dGH, and a temperature range of 22–26 °C (72–79 °F).[3] It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation; adults do not guard the eggs.
