A rare and once nearly impossible to find species of Corydoras, the Two Saddle or Weitzmani Cory is a medium-growing species found in the Madre de Dios region of Southern Peru.
Like all Corys, it is a schooling species and is best kept in groups. In the wild, they use their sensitive barbels to sift for food particles in the sand and should be kept on the fine substrate in the aquarium.
This species is hardy and undemanding but does prefer slightly cooler temperatures than some other tropical fish (71-76F). Two Saddle / Weitzmani Cory (Corydoras weitzmani)
