I’ve had my Schwartzi cory for six months now and it’s been very active and healthy. The black mask and spotted pattern are striking and it blends well with my community tank. Easy to care for and doesn’t stress other fish.

The fish looks exactly as described. It’s peaceful and stays near the bottom where it feeds on the substrate. I feed it a mix of sinking pellets and algae wafers daily.

Great addition to my 10-gallon tank. It’s active but not aggressive. The pattern is unique and it’s easy to spot in the tank. Water parameters are stable and it adapts well.
