Black Venezuela Corydora - Corydoras sp.

The Black Venezuela Corydora (Corydoras sp.) is a striking and uncommon variant of the popular cory catfish, prized for its deep, velvety black coloration and peaceful personality. Native to the Orinoco River basin, this species is closely related to Corydoras aeneus, but selectively bred for its bold, dark pigmentation, which contrasts beautifully against light substrate and green plants.

These bottom-dwellers are highly social and do best in groups of six or more, where their playful and schooling behavior truly shines. Like all corydoras, they enjoy sifting through soft sand in search of food, and require well-oxygenated, clean water to thrive.
