Cories are small catfish which are popular with aquarists - the Pepper cory is shown.

This is an alphabetically ordered list of Corydoras species. It includes those species subsequently re-allocated to other genera, such as Gastrodermus , Osteogaster , Brochis , and Hoplisoma . These genera were resurrected following a phylogenomic analysis in 2024. [1]
