🐚 Reticulated Corydoras (Corydoras reticulatus) – Peaceful, Active & Beautifully Patterned

The Reticulated Corydoras (Corydoras reticulatus) is a charming schooling catfish prized for its intricate net-like pattern and shimmering silver body. Native to the cool, clear waters of the lower Amazon Basin, this elegant bottom dweller brings both activity and grace to community aquariums. 🌿🐠

Reticulated Corys are peaceful, social fish that thrive in groups of six or more. Their constant foraging and endearing whisker-like barbels make them a joy to watch. They prefer soft sand or fine gravel substrate and clean, well-oxygenated water with gentle flow. ✨
