Brochis garbei, the Bahia catfish or coridora, freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae, the corys, of the family Callichthyidae, the armoured catfishes. It is endemic to Brazil, where it is found in the São Francisco River basin. It is sold as an aquarium fish. Its specific name, garbei, honours the German-born Brazilian zoologist Ernesto Garbe, who collected specimens, presumably including the holotype of B. garbei, for the Museu Paulista.
