The Threestripe Cory Catfish (Corydoras trilineatus), also known as the False Juli's Cory Catfish, is a beloved species that is native to several countries in South America.
It is known for its intricate pattern of spots and stripes over mostly white body coloration. This species is an excellent fish for both beginners and experts alike, and it is also an excellent candidate for aquarists looking to get into fish breeding!
The Threestripe Cory Catfish is a very peaceful schooling fish that is compatible with most nano aquarium animals, including dwarf cichlids and angelfish. It might prey on some smaller dwarf shrimp, but is safe with larger shrimp and most other peaceful ornamental invertebrates. 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, so it should be kept in an aquarium with sand or very smooth gravel substrate. This fish is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry,frozen, and live foods. It is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided.
