Corydoras undulatus is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the lower Paraná River basin and coastal rivers in southern Brazil and Argentina .

The fish will grow in length up to 1.7 inches (4.4 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2–25 dGH, and a temperature range of 72–79 °F (22–26 °C). This information however is unverified by international Catfish research groups who have not been able to confirm these parameters - [1]
