Aspidoras fuscoguttatus or Brown-point Shield Skin Longirostris 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 upper Paraná River basin in Brazil and Peru.
The fish will grow in length up to 4 centimetres (1.6 inches). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 5.5–6.8 pH, a water hardness of 12 dGH, and a temperature range of 22 to 25 °C (72 to 77 °F). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs.
It is not very popular in the aquarium trade, probably because it is difficult to distinguish from other related species.
