Corydoras robineae the banner-tail corydoras is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America. Corydoras robineae is restricted to the Upper Rio Negro basin in Brazil. [1]
The fish is named in honor of Robine Schwartz, mother of aquarium-fish collector and exporter Adolfo Schwartz, who supplied the type specimen and asked that his mother be honored with the fishes name. [2]
