Introducing New Fish
Smudge Spot Corydoras
The Smudge Spot Cory Catfish (Corydoras similis), also known as the Violet Cory Catfish, is a very uncommon species that is native to Brazil. It is rare in the aquarium hobby, but is in high demand due to the striking dark violet coloration that it develops as it matures. It is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the nano, community, and planted aquarium.
The Smudge Spot Cory Catfish is a very peaceful schooling fish that is compatible with most nano aquarium animals, including dwarf cichlids and angelfish. It is a classic scavenger and will inhabit and feed at the aquarium floor, which should be comprised of sand or smooth gravel. Very coarse substrate can damage its delicate barbels and underbelly.
This fish is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry and frozen foods. It is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided.
