Super Parallelus Corydora Wild (Corydoras aff. parallelus CW127) Aquarium Glaser X-Large

Description

Corydoras aff. parallelus CW127, also known as the Super Parallelus Cory, is a rare and visually striking species of Corydoras catfish. Though not yet formally described by science, it is well-known in the aquarium hobby and has been assigned the code CW127 by Corydoras expert Ian Fuller.

Species Overview

  • Scientific Name: Corydoras sp. aff. parallelus CW127
  • Common Name: Super Parallelus Cory
  • Origin: Rio Jamanxim, a tributary of the Rio Tapajós in Brazil 
  • Size: Up to 7.5 cm (3 inches) 
  • Snout Type: Short and rounded, distinguishing it from long-snouted relatives like C. bifasciatus

Appearance

  • Markings: Two bold vertical stripes through the eye and body, and two horizontal lines under the dorsal fin extending toward the tail 
  • Coloration: Silvery base with dark, contrasting patterns
  • Sexual Dimorphism: Females are typically larger and rounder; males are slimmer 

Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 21–25°C (70–77°F)
  • pH: 6.0–7.5
  • Hardness: 2–18 dGH
  • Tank Size: Minimum 30 gallons recommended [3]

🏡 Tank Setup

  • Substrate: Fine sand or smooth gravel
  • Decor: Driftwood, leaf litter, and rocks to mimic Amazonian biotope
  • Plants: Optional—natural habitat lacks aquatic plants, but they adapt well to planted tanks
  • Filtration: Clean, well-oxygenated water with moderate flow
  • Lighting: Moderate to subdued

Diet

  • Type: Omnivore
  • Foods: Sinking pellets, frozen foods (bloodworms, daphnia), and occasional blanched vegetables 
  • Feeding Tip: Avoid overfeeding and remove uneaten food to maintain water quality

Behavior & Compatibility

  • Temperament: Peaceful, social bottom-dweller
  • Best Kept: In groups of 6 or more
  • Tankmates: Ideal with tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and other peaceful species

Breeding

  • Spawning: Similar to other Corydoras—triggered by cooler water changes and increased oxygenation
  • Eggs: Deposited on glass, plants, or spawning mops
  • Fry Care: Require clean, oxygen-rich water and small live foods like microworms or baby brine shrimp
