Description
The Korean Bullhead (*Pseudobagrus brevicorpus*) is a distinctive freshwater catfish native to the Korean Peninsula, known for its striking dark vertical bands on a lighter body. It is a nocturnal, bottom-dwelling species that requires clean, well-oxygenated water and plenty of hiding spots. This omnivorous fish can be a good addition to a temperate community tank with suitable tankmates.
