The CW127 Corydoras
, commonly known as the Super Parallelus Cory, is a rare and highly sought-after freshwater catfish originating from the Rio Tapajos drainage in Brazil. Part of "Lineage 9," it is prized for its cream-to-silver body, bold parallel horizontal stripes, and a subtle golden sheen that appears under quality lighting.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: It features a pale base body color with a dark mask-like face and two distinct dark lines running horizontally along its flanks.
- Size: Adults typically reach 2 to 2.5 inches (5–6.5 cm).
- Behavior: They are peaceful, social bottom-dwellers that should be kept in groups of 6 or more to feel secure and exhibit natural schooling behavior.
- Rarity: Currently scientifically undescribed, it was assigned the code CW127 by Ian Fuller. It is considered a "collector's Cory" due to its limited availability and striking pattern.
Aquarium Care Requirements
| Parameter | Recommended Range |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 68°F – 77°F (20°C – 25°C) |
| pH Level | 6.0 – 7.2 |
| Tank Size | Minimum 20–30 gallons for a small group |
| Substrate | Fine sand or smooth gravel to protect their delicate barbels (whiskers) |

Tank Mates & Environment
- Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other peaceful species like Tetras, Rasboras, and Dwarf Cichlids.
- Decor: They prefer tanks with plenty of hiding spots, such as driftwood, caves, and live plants (e.g., Anubias or Java Fern).
- Maintenance: Requires stable water parameters and frequent partial water changes, as they can be sensitive to sudden fluctuations.
