This rare Corydoras is an incredibly colorful, undescribed species from Peru and we have tank-raised specimens!

The Gold Stripe Cory Catfish (Corydoras sp. CW010), also known as the Gold Laser Cory Catfish, is a relatively newfound species that is native to Peru. It is rare in the aquarium hobby, but is in high demand due to its coloration of a metallic green body with a thick neon yellow stripe along its shoulder and side. It is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the nano, community, and planted aquarium. It has not yet been scientifically described, but many experts believe that it is possibly a geographic color variant of Corydoras aeneus or C. melanataenia.
