Corydoras Oiapoquensis 2cm

The Corydoras Oiapoquensis (Corydoras oiapoquensis) is a rare and charming dwarf catfish native to the Oiapoque River basin on the Brazil–French Guiana border. Compact and endearing, this little bottom-dweller sports the classic Corydoras pattern of a pale body with dark mottling and markings, and like all cories, it is most at home when kept in a social group. A peaceful and industrious scavenger, it makes an excellent addition to nano and community aquariums alike.
