Blacktop corydoras

The Blacktop corydoras is a freshwater fish known for its distinctive dark, almost black dorsal surface, contrasting sharply with a lighter, pallid underbelly. This small, yet captivating, species is native to rivers and tributaries in South America. Characterized by a robust, armored body typical of corydoras, it's easily recognized by its unique coloration. Despite its striking appearance, the Blacktop corydoras is not as commonly known or widespread in the aquarium hobby as some of its relatives, making it a prized find for enthusiasts dedicated to rare and unusual species.
