Loxozonus cory Profile

The Loxozonus cory is a relatively obscure species in the aquarium hobby, known for its sleek, elongated body and striking colouration, typically featuring a blend of silvery and green hues that can shimmer under aquarium lighting. Native to the tributaries and river basins of South America, this fish possesses the characteristic barbels around the mouth area, common to Corydoras species, which it uses to forage for food along the bottom. Despite its appealing appearance, it is not as widely recognized or as commonly kept as some of its Corydoras cousins, making it a unique choice for enthusiasts looking to add something a bit different to their community tanks.
