Size: 6–7 cm (males slightly smaller than females).
Body shape: Typical for Corydoras, with a stocky body and a down-turned mouth with "whiskers" for searching for food.
Coloration: Dark brown to gray body with white/yellowish spots in a regular pattern. The pectoral fins have a characteristic orange-yellow hue at the base.
Behavior: Absolutely peaceful and social, should be kept in groups (at least 6 individuals). Active on the bottom, digs the substrate in search of food.
