Description
The False Blochi Corydoras is a peaceful, schooling catfish native to South America, known for its mottled brown and cream coloration and a distinctive dark stripe through the eye. These active bottom-dwellers are excellent scavengers and thrive in well-maintained community aquariums. They prefer to be kept in groups of six or more.
