Brochis crypticus

One of several species of similarly patterned, medium-growing Cory Cat from the Rio Negro basin in Brazil and Colombia, the Cryptic Cory (Brochis cryptica) is a peaceful shoaling fish often found in large groups in the wild. This species typically inhabits soft, acidic, tannin-stained waters in the wild and will display their best coloration under similar conditions in the aquarium.  Hardy and undemanding, this species an excellent and active bottom-dweller for most community tanks. Like most Corydoras they should be kept in groups of at least five fish.
