Description
The Banded Cory, also known as the Three-lined Corydoras, is a peaceful and hardy bottom-dwelling catfish. It features an attractive reticulated pattern of dark spots and lines over a lighter body, often with a prominent dark stripe along its lateral line. These active scavengers thrive in groups and are excellent additions to community aquariums.
