Aspidoras depinnai is a relatively recently discovered catfish. It belongs to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family. The corydora group of fish is massively varietied and as a result many fish are hard to differentiate and define. There are no known procedures to follow for aquaria based breeding, but as with all cordora fish they tend to breed after heavy rainfall or when there is a drop in water temperatures or hardness.
