ℹ️ Overview

The Bluespotted Corydoras is a small, freshwater fish distinguished by its attractive blue spots and markings on a primarily silver to greenish body. Originating from South America, it is a peaceful bottom-dweller that inhabits streams and slow-moving rivers.

While not the most common species in the aquarium hobby, the Bluespotted Corydoras is appreciated by enthusiasts for its striking coloration and sociable behavior, making it a desired addition to community tanks that replicate its soft, acidic natural habitat.
