Brochis amandajanea

A rarely imported, larger-growing species of Cory Cat, Brochis amandajanea or the Amanda Jane Cory is found in the upper and middle Rio Negro in Brazil. An inhabitant of soft, acidic, shallow waters on fine sand substrate, they are typically found in large aggregations as they forage for food in the substrate. Peaceful, hardy, and active, this species makes a striking addition to a community or planted aquarium. Like all Corydoras, they will do best on a fine sand substrate and should be kept in groups of 5 or more.
