Black Cory Catfish | Corydoras schultzei

The Black Venezuela Cory (Corydoras schultzei) is a peaceful, small catfish with a dark body and gentle nature. Though it’s often called the Black Venezuela Cory, it isn’t related to the orange Venezuelan Cory. Instead, the black cory comes from a special German breeding line with its own unique history. These corys like to live in groups and sift through soft sand for leftover food. They stay under two inches long, prefer calm water, and get along well with other peaceful fish, making them a perfect fit for a community aquarium.

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with the Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish. 

We feed our Corys a large variety of foods which include finely ground Northfin flake foods, small Northfin pellets (veggie, community, & bug pro), frozen foods, and occasionally blackworms.

The scientific name for the Black Cory is Corydoras schultzei.

Black Venezuelan Cory-adorable!

I ordered 7 Cory’s and got 1 extra! They arrived healthy and super active! Been almost 2 weeks since arriving and still all 8 are doing great! My new fav Cory😊
Thanks Flip team! Always satisfied with your great selection of healthy happy specimens. I also ordered plants and bumblebee platies and panda Garra. All arrived in awesome shape/condition. The 3 platies were all male-not even mad about that😆
Thanks as always Flip team!😁☮️❤️🐟🦐🌱

Black Venezuela Corydoras

I ordered 6 of these and received an extra one. All but one were active abd were swimming well. One seemed to have a swim bladder issue and died the next day. I guess that's why I got a +1

It's been about two weeks since I received my order and they're continuing to be very active.

Black Cory cats

The Cory cats are absolutely beautiful. They're active at all levels of my tank, they're extremely healthy and they are stunning in my tank.
