Corydoras-Venezuelan Black

The Venezuelan Black Cory is a stunning, dark-coloured Corydoras that brings a sleek, unique look to any peaceful community aquarium. Their deep charcoal to black body colour stands out beautifully against light sand, green plants, and natural aquascapes, making them a great choice for aquarists wanting something a little different from the usual Corydoras.

These little bottom-dwellers are peaceful, active, and best kept in groups where they can forage together across the substrate. They help bring life and movement to the lower levels of the tank while staying gentle with other fish.
