Brochis seussi
Species of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brochis seussi is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging the family Callichthyidae, the armored catfishes, and the subfamily Corydoradinae, the corys.[2] This species is found in the basin of the Mamoré River in Brazil and Bolivia.[1] It was named after German ichthyologist Dr Werner Seuss. It quite strongly resembles Hoplisoma gossei.[3] However, it can be differentiated by its longer snout; nonetheless, it is not a 'true' longnose corydoras in the manner of, for example, Corydoras septentrionalis. The captive spawning of this catfish has not been documented.
