Hoplisoma griseum, the gray corydoras, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae, the corys, of the family Callichthyidae, the armoured catfishes. This catfish is only known from the Kuribrong River, a tributary of the Potaro River, in the Essequibo River basin, in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana.
Hoplisoma griseum is oviparous. The female holds a batch of between 2 and 4 eggs between her pelvic fins, and the male takes around 30 seconds to fertilise each batch. The female then swims to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. They repeat this process until around 100 eggs have been fertilised and stuck to a substrate.
