Threestripe Corydoras 3 Pack

Lesser- known and strikingly patterned Corydoras catfish!

These tiny little species of Cory cats (Corydoras trilineatus), are active sand-sifters and just love to dig around in little schools. Stunning for their iridescent black and white striping and spotting highlights, Threestripe Corys only grow to a maximum of 2.5" (males slightly smaller), Just perfect for a ten- gallon tank!

Threestripe Corydoras is often mistaken for Julii Corydoras due to a horizontal stripe on its body. However, their markings are distinctly different, with Threestripe Corydoras having strong and solid stripes, while Julii Corydoras has "leopard" spots or a spotted form. These differences are important to note when differentiating between the two species.

These display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and will thrive on sinking pellets and frozen foods. 

While omnivorous, they will not bother other community fish, plants or inverts such as shrimp and snails! I personally do not like to keep them with shrimp colonies I wish to breed. I've never seen them eat baby shrimp, but I suppose it could happen!

Your little Corys will be between 1" to 2" long.
