Morphological development of Corydoras aff. paleatus (Siluriformes, Callichthyidae) and correlation with the emergence of motor and social behaviors
Here we examine major anatomical characteristics of Corydoras aff.paleatus (Jenyns, 1842) post-hatching development, in parallel with its neurobehavioral evolution.Eleutheroembryonic phase, 4.3-8.8 days post-fertilization (dpf); 4.3-6.4 mm standard length (SL) encompasses from hatching to transition to exogenous feeding.Protopterygiolarval phase (8
