The Pantanal Corys are stunning in a well-maintained tank. The males develop beautiful iridescent patterns when mature. They’re active and social, and they enjoy the soft sand bottom. Easy to care for as long as water parameters are stable.

I’ve had two groups of C005 Corys for over six months. They’re peaceful and don’t bother other fish. The spotting is subtle but elegant, especially in the breeding phase. A great addition to a community tank.

These fish are a highlight in my 30-gallon tank. They swim gracefully and stay active throughout the day. I keep them in groups of five and they seem to get along well with tetras and rasboras.
