The emerald catfish (Brochis splendens), emerald brochis, emerald cory, green catfish, or shortbody catfish is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family. The fish has appeared on a stamp in Brazil. Though this species is sometimes called the emerald cory, it is really not a corydoras catfish at all. It is in another genus of catfishes, Brochis. Brochis catfish can be distinguished from corydoras catfish by their longer dorsal fins with tall spiny first rays. Brochis catfish also generally have longer snouts than coryboras catfish.
