The blacktop corydoras (Corydoras acutus) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the Amazon River basin in Ecuador and Northern Peru. It was described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1872.
The fish will grow in length up to 1.7 inches (4.4 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2–25 dGH, and a temperature range of 77–83 °F (25–28 °C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs. The female holds 2–4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then does the female swim to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached.
The blacktop corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry.
Corydoras albolineatus, is a freshwater catfish that is popular among aquarium enthusiasts. This species is known for its peaceful nature and its ability to live harmoniously with other fish in a community tank.
Corydoras albolineatus is a relatively small fish, with adults growing to around 2.5 inches in length. They have a distinctive shape, with a broad head and a tapered body that ends in a narrow tail. Their body is covered in rows of bony plates, giving them a unique armored appearance. The albino variety of this species has a white or pale yellow body with pink or red eyes, which makes them an eye-catching addition to any aquarium.
These fish are native to the rivers and streams of South America, and they require clean, well-oxygenated water in order to thrive. They are hardy and adaptable, and can tolerate a range of water conditions, although they prefer slightly acidic water with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. A temperature range of 72-78°F is ideal for this species.
Corydoras albolineatus is an omnivorous fish that will eat a variety of foods, including algae, worms, and small crustaceans. They are also known to scavenge for leftover food on the bottom of the tank. It is important to provide a balanced diet for these fish, which can include sinking pellets, frozen or live foods, and fresh vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
When kept in a community tank, Corydoras albolineatus are peaceful and social, and they are known for their shoaling behavior. It is recommended to keep them in groups of at least six individuals, as they are more active and feel more secure in larger groups. They are compatible with other peaceful species of fish, but should not be kept with aggressive or predatory fish that may harm them.
In summary, Corydoras albolineatus is a fascinating and beautiful fish that can make a great addition to any community tank. They are hardy, easy to care for, and have a peaceful nature. Their unique appearance and shoaling behavior make them a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate the beauty of freshwater catfish.

Overall, Corydoras Amandajanea is a peaceful and social species that thrives in groups of six or more. They are an active and entertaining fish to watch, and their unique appearance makes them a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts. With proper care and maintenance, these fish can live for up to 5 years in captivity.

This very lovely and rare Cory Catfish is seldom available, especially tank-bred specimens!
The Smudge Spot Cory Catfish (Corydoras similis), also known as the Violet Cory Catfish, is a very uncommon species that is native to Brazil. It is rare in the aquarium hobby, but is in high demand due to the striking dark violet coloration that it develops as it matures. It is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the nano, community, and planted aquarium.
The Smudge Spot Cory Catfish is a very peaceful schooling fish that is compatible with most nano aquarium animals, including dwarf cichlids and angelfish. It might prey on some smaller dwarf shrimp, but is safe with larger shrimp and most other peaceful ornamental invertebrates. It is a classic scavenger and will inhabit and feed at the aquarium floor, which should be comprised of sand or smooth gravel. Very coarse substrate can damage its delicate barbels and underbelly, so it should be kept in an aquarium with sand or very smooth gravel substrate. This fish is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry,frozen, and live foods. It is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided.
