Description
The Threestripe Corydoras is a small, peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish known for its distinctive pattern of a dark lateral stripe and leopard-like spots. They are schooling fish that thrive in groups and are excellent scavengers, helping to keep the substrate clean. These hardy fish are a popular choice for community aquariums.
