Description
Hoplisoma granti, now known as Corydoras granti, is a small and peaceful armored catfish, easily recognized by the distinctive black stripe running from its snout through the eye and along its upper body. These active bottom-dwellers thrive in groups of six or more and are excellent additions to community aquariums. They prefer soft substrate and plenty of hiding spots among plants or decor.
