Bandit Cory | Corydoras metae

Bandit Cory

Known for the black stripe across it's eyes and streak down it's back, this species adds a touch of elegance to any aquatic environment. With their playful demeanor and social nature, Bandit Corys thrive in community tanks, where they delight both seasoned aquarists and newcomers alike with their energetic antics.

These adorable bottom-dwellers aren't just eye-catching; they're also a breeze to care for. With a preference for soft, sandy substrates and plenty of hiding spots among plants and driftwood, setting up a cozy habitat for your Bandit Corys is a cinch. Plus, their small size and peaceful disposition make them perfect tankmates for a wide range of fish species.
