Though in recent time the Corydorus group, Bronze and Peppered Catfish, have been broken up mostly there was already another small splinter group.
Comprising just three species these are all very similar to each other and one of the commonest of tropical Catfish the Bronze Cory, Corydorus aeneus.
Well similar in all respects except one and that is size. Now this Brochis splendens is actually the smallest of the three Brochis species and yet a ful grown Corydorus aeneus will look like a dwarf of this at around one third to one half the size.
Then there is Brochis multiradiatus, which has a more point nose and longer dorsal fin, and the humungous Brochis britskii.
